The art of wrought iron craftsmanship in Maniago dates back to the XIV century. It gained importance with the supply of arms to the Serenissima Republic of Venice in the 1500s and with the production of precision cutting "irons" over the years. In modern times, technological support from research institutes and laboratories has further strengthened Maniago's worldwide reputation of steel processing. Following this tradition of steel making craftsmanship, RGM has been creating high quality tools for the fine arts since 1961. Ongoing research into new technologies, as well as the development of new models with the help of the artists themselves, has resulted in one of the most complete product lines of its kind in the world. Because of its strong commitment and its consistent level of quality, RGM now markets its products in virtually every country in the world.
