Founded in 1924 by Dr. Agostino Orlandi, subsequent to the sale of the first pharmacy owned by his family in Via Ghibellina, it occupies premises in one of the city's most elegant streets, on the first floor of an Art Nouveau building. The original furnishings consist of a series of shelves with glass-fronted cabinets in carved natural wood with a clock at the top centre. The wrought iron plates on the outside date from the same period.
