Our History

since 1936

1936

Butcher's Shop "Da Rico"

Enrico Boscolo opens the "Da Rico" butcher shop in Sottomarina, near Venice.
Goals: 1) quality meat, 2) family by his side, even at work.

1950s

2nd generation

After going through the difficult years of the Second World War and the dramatic post-war period, his son Lino (2nd generation) joined his father in the butcher's shop.

1973

Rico Carni S.r.l.

Rico Carni SRL is founded, strengthening the retail and catering business.

1980s

3rd generation

Mauro, Lino's son, (3rd generation) joins the company and brings about an important turning point with the production of cooked meat.

1991

Assignment of the EEC Stamp

The awarding of the EEC Seal—European recognition for the production of meat-based products—allowed the company to expand into the world of large-scale retail trade and wholesale channels, expanding its product range. Among them, roast beef became the flagship product. High quality remained a central focus for both father and son.

2008

New production plant

The business moves to Cavarzere (Venice), with a new technologically advanced production plant covering an area of 5,000 m2.

2010

4th generation

Mauro is succeeded by his sons Marco and Mattia (the fourth generation); the family tradition—as it has always been since the beginning—continues, but strengthened both in terms of production and sales.
This new structure allows for the expansion of the product range, now including smoked meats.
