Founded in 2005 by Salvatore and David, two accomplished musicians and artisans united by their shared love for music and mastery of violin and guitar, Bottega Audio began as a small audio workshop in Trieste, Italy. Their founding goal was to create loudspeakers that didn't merely reproduce sound but conveyed the warmth and expression of live musical performance, driven by their passion for sonic perfection. What started as a space for music lovers and local musicians evolved into a boutique brand renowned for craftsmanship and exceptional musicality. Both accomplished craftsmen and musicians, the founders embarked on a journey to redefine audio excellence through handcrafted Italian loudspeakers that combine aesthetic beauty with superior acoustic performance. Recently, the company launched their flagship Galileo 335, a statement 3-way loudspeaker handcrafted in Trieste representing years of development and marking a new chapter in Italian hi-fi craftsmanship. Priced at $44,500, the Galileo 335 exemplifies Bottega Audio's fusion of Italian artistry and audio precision. The company has established itself as a specialist in high-end handcrafted speakers, maintaining their boutique approach while expanding their reputation for creating instruments that capture the soul of musical performance through meticulous Italian craftsmanship and innovative acoustic engineering.
