Molina Pipe - Combination of design and pipe-making artistry Molina is probably the oldest pipe factory in Europe; it was founded in 1886 by Ferdinando Rossi to "Molina di Barasso" near Varese in the north of Italy . After many years factory changed its name from Rossi to Molina and now, it has a group of artisans well known all over the world. Molina atelier is today one of a handful of surviving pipe makers in northern Italy .
