The origins of the publishing house date back to 1750 when the founder Francesco Cesare (1736-1799) took over a small artisan business in the heart of old Milan, in Via Santa Margherita. The historic headquarters soon became an important artistic and literary center, frequented among others by Giuseppe Parini, Alessandro Volta and the Verri brothers. His sons Pietro (1770-1819) and Giuseppe (1784-1861) continued the business, then from 1822 Pietro's widow, Giuseppina Redaelli, to whom his sons Francesco (1809-1895) and Antonio (1813-1876) respectively gave life to two independent children. branches of the publishing house: Francesco Vallardi, specialized in scientific and encyclopedic editions; Antonio Vallardi establishes himself in educational production. In the first half of the nineteenth century the publishing house stood out for the production of artistic, geographical and scientific works, including an "Itinerary of Italy" which had twenty-two reprints between 1819 and 1835. The complete work of geographical maps and various indications for the journey, including timetables and fares of the means of transport of the time, represented the first modern tourist guide. In 1843 the acronym "Vallardi" was born and the company in the meantime took on an industrial character, with the opening of branches on a national scale and the construction of the factory in via Moscova, among the first in Italy to be equipped with electrical lighting systems.
