PINWHEELS
Who doesn’t know what a pinwheel is? It is a simple child’s toy with a wheel made of paper or plastic curls which is attached at its axle to a handle so that it can spin when blown on by the wind. Surely most everyone has at one time or another had one and played with it.
Our pinwheels are classic, quality toys, made in Italy. They were originally developed almost a century ago by our founder Luigi Basso and they are still made in Gattorna by a team of skilled, conscientious workers. And although pinwheels have a long history as traditional toys, modern materials, fluorescent colours and new shapes and designs help maintain their popularity in today’s modern toy market.
