Founded in 1962 by Giuliano Malservisi and Gian Pietro Parmeggiani who both had a childhood love of aeroplanes and military vehicles, “Italstamp” (as the brand was first known) brought their first product to market. Italstamp subsequently became Italaerei and then the Italeri we know today. Based close to Bologna, they are best known for tackling subjects full of character so you are likely to find something to catch your eye in their broad offering of kits.
