DISTANT ROUTES MEET OUR ORIGIN

Via Caminadella 23, Milan

A JOURNEY TO DISTANT LANDS

At the end of the eighteenth century, Antonio Maria Romanengo reached the port of Genoa, a crossroads of people, goods, and cultures from all over the world.

Here he traded in colonial goods, selecting spices, tea, cocoa, sugar, and precious ingredients arriving from distant lands. Rare raw materials, guardians of scents, aromas, and traditions, destined to become the heart of his creations. From that connection with the port and its trade, a vision was born based on the pursuit of quality, respect for the origin of ingredients, and curiosity toward what the world had to offer.

A legacy that continues today, preserving the value of travel through the selection of raw materials.

Spice and tea shop, Milan

Next to the Confetteria and La Corte Caminadella, this shop was created as a tribute to Romanengo's origins and to the journey undertaken by Antonio Maria more than two centuries ago.

Here, a selection of teas, spices and infusions tells of distant lands through scents, colours and aromas that span cultures and traditions.

Stepping into this shop means following the thread of a story that continues to this day. An invitation to slow down, let your senses guide you and rediscover the pleasure of travel.
