Badalona and the An\u00eds del Mono factory<\/h2>\n

Thanks to An\u00eds del Mono bottle, in many homes sounded Christmas music. And also sweetness to our lunches or dinners. Since the end of the 19th century, this liquor has been made in Badalona, in a building that was declared a historical heritage in 2007. An\u00eds de Mono factory has been preserved for its artistic and heritage value and is a modernist jewel of Badalona<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the distillation room where anise is still made today, to the manager’s office or the archive, they retain all modernist\u00a0 characteristics from these period. To Highlight the wooden furniture designed by the Badalonian architect Joan Amig\u00f3 i Barriga. At the beginning of the 20th century the brand became famous, promoted by the advertising posters by the artist Ramon Casas.<\/p>\n

Badalona<\/strong> has a very close relationship with the An\u00eds del Mono factory. On July 7, 2012 it was inaugurated on the promenade, next to the Pont del Petroli<\/strong>, a statue in honor of An\u00eds del Mono, that represents the monkey that appears in its label, is sculpted in bronze and weighs 200 kilos. This monkey has become part of the landscape and is highly esteemed by the Badaloneses. The An\u00eds del Mono factory is currently owned by the Osborne company and can be visited by the Badalona Museum.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anecdotes<\/h4>\n

The story of Anise del Mono<\/strong> is full of anecdotes. Its name, An\u00eds del Mono, was based on a present that Vicente del Bosch, the founder, received from America who ended up giving the brand\u2019s name. The classic diamond glass bottle that has become a standard in aniseed bottles also has its history. Vicente Bosch was looking for a gift for his wife during a trip to Paris. Finally he bought a perfume whose bottle ended up inspiring the bottle for his drink.<\/p>\n

The artistic vein of Vicente Bosch led him to convene in 1897 a poster contest (the first one made in Spain) that won Ramon Casas<\/strong>. The monkey monkey’s face has humanoid features based on that of Charles Darwin himself, a nod to the debate about the evolution taking place at that time.<\/p>\n

In later years the Badalona brand served as inspiration for his works to other artists recognized as Gris or Picasso<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
