Italian quality, Swiss punctuality

Artistic foundry located in Mendrisio

Perseo SA offers outstanding metal casting services in the artistic domain. Founded in 1952, it acts as a reference point for both prominent artists in the field and hobbyists who pursue art in their leisure time, working with them on both local and global scales.

Among our proudest achievements is our collaboration with one of the world's largest publishers on the works of Salvador Dalì and the exhibition of Ivo Soldini's bronze pieces on site.

To complete the offer, there is a strong connection to the roots: at the headquarters in Mendrisio, Ticino, it is indeed possible to participate in guided tours and closely discover the technique of lost wax casting, an ancient method that dates back to 3000 BC and appears to have been codified for the first time by Benvenuto Cellini, the creator of the renowned bronze statue of Perseus that lends its name to the company.

People say about us

Your reviews from Tripadvisor.

This foundry is a notable institution in the area; here, one can discover various works of art in bronze created by local artists such as Soldini and Bianchi Valerio. It would be beneficial for schools to visit so that students can observe how the process of lost-wax casting is carried out and how copper is used as an art form. This is very interesting and educational.
