Some days ago, I arrived at The world’s oldest family companies (I can’t remember how). It’s a curious list of the 100 oldest family companies in the world.

Funny I can recognise only three of them: the two Spanish companies and Faber-Castle (maybe because I had to draw at college).

Another shocking fact is that Italy, France and Japan are leading this list. I haven’t counted them, but they seem to appear the most.

Well, taking a second read, I didn’t knew “Barovier & Toso” by its name, but if I say ‘glass’ and ‘Murano’ it may ring a bell.
