The Monterosa company, founded by Aurelio Zelandi, began on June 18, 1969, as a craft business, with the production of small braids for candles as its main activity.

The pursuit of quality materials and the artisanal care of the product have been the two cornerstones on which the company has developed over the decades.

This philosophy continued with the creation of an ecological tubular wick, made of pure cotton without a metallic core, featuring characteristics that were highly innovative for the time. The patent for industrial invention was filed on December 28, 1972.

On October 11, 1974, the first trademark patent was granted: an ellipsoidal imprint with a stylized mountain and horizontal lines representing the sky, prominently featuring the wording “ecologically pure”.

Over time, numerous and varied types of wicks have been developed to meet the needs of candle manufacturers and their final products. Today, the range of wicks is truly extensive!

A thorough research and development process has made it possible to understand how different characteristics of composition, type, and size of the wick can be matched to one or another type of candle.

Our company is constantly evolving, and the development phase is in continuous growth.
