The Aniello Heritage story extends beyond words alone; regardless of the medium we employ, L’Artigiano Aniello strives to enlighten and inspire our community.

The Aniello family hails from Sant’Agnello in the Napoli region of Italy. Upon their arrival in Brazil, Giuseppe and Filomena Aniello found work as blacksmiths for Brazilian jockeys and horses. Their son, Carmino, and later their grandson, José, recognized an opportunity to better serve their father’s clients. They not only took care of their horses but also assisted them in managing their assets and building their homes. In the 1940s, the third generation of the family was born, driven by a passion for professional growth and a deep understanding of the Brazilian economic landscape.

After four decades, Marcelo Aniello embarked on an illustrious career, achieving acclaim as an award-winning photographer. It was during this time that he first entered the business world, establishing printing house Anipress in 1994. Marcelo used his own career as a foundation for publishing books on architecture and upholding high standards. However, it was after relocating to the United States and bonding with his son over golf that he launched the renowned American magazine, Golf Journal, which has also been published in Brazil since 2012.

The unwavering dedication and exemplary example set by the entire Aniello family served as inspiration for the company to adopt a handcrafted and distinctive approach in its publications. Through their collective efforts, they have successfully built several companies and served numerous clients, shaping the company’s unique path.
