Vivo Restaurant Capalbio and Florence

The history of our company has roots that have in the early years of the last century. The Manno family has been in the world of fishing since 1904, when my great -grandfather Antonio fished in Lake Paola and, after bringing fish home, women were responsible for marketing him in the province of Caserta.

In 1968 my father Antonio, who as a tradition wanted to bring the name of his grandfather, moved to Orbetello. From Tuscany he began to dirty between Chioggia and Sardinia, passing through the Argentario, which was then a very fishy sea. Taking advantage of the lagoon, he began to be a point of reference for fresh fish in central Italy.

In 1973 he settled definitively to Orbetello where, thanks to the renovation of a former mill, he opened the first fish warehouse that was in charge of marketing the fishing of the Argentario. Here begins to open new frontiers on international markets such as France, which was rich in oysters, molluscs that were not yet known in Italy. In 1982 Mariculture was born in Talamone and the company obtained a strong driving force becoming a leader on the Italian seafood market.

In 1989 F.lli Manno opened, with the specific objective of developing what is the fishing and trade in the fish of Orbetello and Monte Argentario.

To date, the F.lli Manno supplies all the large supermarket chains and the best fish shops and restaurants in Italy. Our company covers the entire production chain, from fishing - being shipowners of more than 10 fishing boats - to breeding, from transformation to international marketing. We have two foreign offices, one in Dunkerque, close to the most important fishing ports in the north of France, and one in Saint-Malo, where we produce Roman's oysters of seven different autochthonous types. With the Mansa Rome and Manno Milan markets we are present in the main Italian cities, with the transformation laboratory of La Torba we can produce any type of fish, marketing over a third of all Tuscan production. In fact, we are permanently positioned on the most important fishing port of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Porto Santo Stefano, both in terms of fleet and production.
