Menarini is an Italian company headquartered in Florence and founded in 1886 by Archimede Menarini, privately held by the Aleotti family into its fourth generation and the largest privately-owned Italian pharma company.

The group spans cardiology, oncology, diagnostics and consumer health, and its 2020 acquisition of Stemline Therapeutics gave it a structurally interesting oncology pipeline.
