Our
shop was established in Rome in 1894 and has since
been managed by four generations of the Nardi Family.
They began by importing and selling herbs and medicines.
Over the years, our increased knowledge of the plant
kingdom has helped us create commercial relations
and exchange experience with the most important Abbeys
throughout Italy.
We currently represent and commercialise products
from most of the Monastic Orders in the country.
The following products are therefore the result of
centuries of experience, cultivated wisdom, humble
devotion to Nature and pure monastic tradition and
are appreciated throughout the world for their quality
and genuineness.

A combination of the experience gained by our family
and Ai Monasteri involved, the ancient formulas which
our ancestor, Domenico, discovered after years of working
with herbs (he was a doctor who took part in the very
first expeditions to Eastern Africa) and his contact
with tribal cultures, observing the plants they used,
which were then exotic though nowadays commonly used,
led him to creating products with excellent reputations.
These products are still on sale in our shop, created
using his original formulas and, above all, his techniques.
From the descendants of Dominic until today, which represents
the latest dynasty, Umberto has continued along the
same enriched road, improving and deepening the ancient
knowledge.
Doctor Umberto Nardi continued the family tradition
by earning a degree in Biological Sciences from the
University of Rome and a diploma in Erboristeria from
the University of Siena.
|
Today, he is a professor of Botanical
Pharmaceutics and Fitocosmesi at Catholic University
of Medicine and Surgery.
His scientific knowledge was acquired through genes
and studies, which has consequently authorized him to
become a specialist in his field.
He manages the family laboratory where he creates the
produce line by applying ancient formulas handed down
over the years. His passion for etnobotanica (the study
of traditional populates in the pharmacological and
nourishment fields) and his contact with the great Italian
and European monasteries brought together the two scientific
and empirical worlds.
All of this corresponds to a greater collaboration between
our activities and that of the Monasteries – both
interdependent.
