About Us

Crafting Frames Since 1975

Risso Cornici was founded in 1975 in Lavagna, Italy, by Ada Bisio and Giuseppe Risso. What began as a small artisan workshop dedicated to custom framing and fine art has grown into a trusted reference point for collectors, art lovers, professionals, and anyone looking for high-quality framing solutions.

Today, the business continues in Chiavari under the second generation, Roberto and Stefania Risso, who combine traditional craftsmanship with research, innovation, and modern technologies.

Experience, Expertise and Attention to Detail

A frame is more than a border around an object. It is a balance of aesthetics, functionality, and preservation. Every project starts with understanding our customers' needs and selecting the most suitable materials, finishes, and technical solutions.

In our workshop, we create custom-made frames, picture hanging systems, conservation framing solutions, and display products for sports memorabilia and collectibles. We carefully select materials and technologies designed to protect and enhance artworks, photographs, documents, and treasured memories for years to come.

Where Tradition Meets Innovation

We believe innovation is most valuable when it is built on experience. For this reason, we continuously invest in the development of new techniques, materials, and display systems.

This philosophy has led to the creation of original solutions such as our sports jersey framing systems. Designed and developed in-house, these products offer a simple installation process combined with a professional display result. Every solution is conceived, tested, and refined directly within our workshop, following the same standards of quality applied to our custom framing services.

Recognized Quality

Over the years, our commitment to craftsmanship and professional excellence has been acknowledged through several important recognitions.

We have been awarded the Artigiani in Liguria certification and the title of Master Craftsman. We have actively participated in professional framing associations and, in 2024, achieved first place in the Frame Wall Contest at the international FAMAART exhibition.

Looking Ahead

Today, we continue to work with the same values that inspired the company in 1975: passion for our craft, attention to detail, and a constant desire to improve.

Whether it is a custom frame, a work of art, a family photograph, or the jersey of a lifetime, our goal remains the same: to preserve, enhance, and showcase what matters most.
