The very first book about the history of Faema - entitled "Faema Espresso 1945-2010" by Enrico Maltoni.
Initially producing heaters, accessories for train carriages and permanent wave machines, Faema soon became the company which changed the history of the evolution of the coffee machine.
The book provides exhaustive information about technological innovations, the founder of Faema, Carlo Ernesto Valente, and the history of the social developments which changed Italian society and its habits in those years. The book features 500 images, 300 of which have never before been published, a collection the Valente family gave Enrico Maltoni, which enabled him to reconstruct the beginnings of the Faema story.
