How Maimeri Started
Gianni Maimeri was the man who founded the Maimeri Color Company in 1923, a prolific and noted Italian impressionist painter who first made highest quality paint to better express his own burning desire for artistic excellence.

Gianni Maimeri, with the help of his brother Carlo, who had developed a colloidal grinding system
which was able to produce colours retaining their original consistency, began to experiment with these new "manufactured" colours at home on canvas. The results were so successful that the two brothers decided to embark upon a business venture. Since then, the Maimeri Company has continued to produce colours of exacting excellence.

Gianni's son, Leone, and his grandson, Gianni, have been resolute in maintaining his original high standards of quality and in insisting that the Maimeri Company always stays closely connected with artists' needs. The result is a line of colours of impeccable quality, produced to satisfy the requirements of all people engaged in the hard and exciting task of giving life to true Works of Art.
