About us
A family story,since 1909
Farmacia Africa Orientale has been by the side of Brindisi families for three generations. Today Olga and Francesca carry on the same approach: listen first, advise afterwards.
The milestones
The thread thathas never broken
- 1909
The beginning, in Corso Garibaldi
Grandfather Lorenzo opens the pharmacy in the very same premises that host the business again today.
- 1958
A bigger home
Father Paolo moves the pharmacy to a larger space, where it will remain for over sixty years.
- Today
Back to its roots
With the generational handover, Olga and Francesca bring the pharmacy back to its historic premises: a circle closing and a new chapter beginning.

How we work
Four things webelieve in
Listening
We always start from your question, not from the product we want to sell.
Expertise
We explain things simply, without ever replacing your doctor.
Continuity
Three generations in the same neighbourhood: you'll always find us in the same place.
Transparency
No absolute promises: we tell you what we can and cannot do.
Come and meet us.
