Luigi Moretti Founds Birra Moretti In Udine

Luigi Moretti founded his beer and ice factory in Udine, in the Friuli region, in 1859. Birra Moretti’s own history presents the company as a long Italian brewing story dating back to 1859, while Beerwulf states that Moretti opened the Brewery and Ice Factory in Udine that same year. The founding placed Birra Moretti among the important nineteenth-century Italian brewery stories. A regional cultural heritage record from Friuli Venezia Giulia also identifies the Birrificio Moretti as founded in Udine in 1859, tying the brewery’s early history directly to the city.
