about us

The Museo del Marchio Italiano is the natural continuation of the historical-graphic investigations conducted by the R&MAG Partners agency since 1990.

Associazione Culturale MUMIT

In 2015, the Mumit association was formed to contribute to the deepening and enhancement of the enormous graphic heritage of Italian companies. It therefore represents a great visual documentation based on an accurate historical-graphic research on the evolution, change and restyling of the main Italian logos. This virtual museum acts as a polarizer of the iconographic tracing of Italian industrial and graphic history; it also represents an in-depth account of the visual history of “made in Italy” from which the fluctuations of taste, styles and trends emerge. These values have led Italian artisanal and industrial production to excel in international commercial competition. The “Museo del Marchio Italiano” (Italian Logo Museum) constantly makes use of collaborations with professionals of modern history, marketing, photography, corporate culture.
