than 100 years
the tradition
of sweets
has been
united with
the elegance
of Torino
The pastisserie Pfatisch was founded in 1915 by the famous Bavarian master chef, Gustavo Pfatisch, who was born in Fossano 1887 and, soon after birth, came to live in Turin.
In 1921 the business moved to its current location on Via Sacchi. As site for his business, the founder chose the splendid Art Nouveau edifice, with its original ceilings and ornately decorated stairways, designed in 1903 by renowned architect, Pietro Fenoglio.
In 1926, the shop and the façade were doubled in size by tearing down an internal foundation wall, which made it necessary to build two pillars to support the vault.
The shop was built in the austere style inspired by Art Deco that was all the rage in that era. The façade is made of solid Italian walnut with inlaid onyx and a signboard with brass lettering. The foundation is of alp-green marble.
