CORNELIANI

Corneliani was born in Mantua in the 1930s thanks to the visionary entrepreneurial spirit of Alfredo Corneliani, one of the Italian pioneers of men's fashion, who started a craftsmanship production of raincoats and outerwear, quickly gaining widespread acclaim. Production was then interrupted due to World War II, and it was his sons, Claudio and Carlalberto, who in 1958 founded Corneliani Spa, giving it a dimension and an identity that would characterize it, over the years, as an Italian excellence and international reference point in the men's clothing sector. The period from the 1970s to 2010 saw the brand consolidate in a larger production facility (1974), open its own headquarters in the United States (1985), and achieve important recognitions: the Leonardo Quality Award conferred by the President of the Republic (2005); the exhibition in Florence and the monograph for the celebration of the 50th anniversary (2008), and participation in Pitti Uomo as a special guest (2010). In 2016, Investcorp, a private equity firm with over 30 years of successful investments in high-potential companies, acquired the majority stake with the aim of continuing and accelerating the brand's international development. In Corneliani, we possess an exclusive style and a unique and innate sensitivity to Italian refinement and elegance that stems from our origins, our tailoring knowledge, and above all from our roots: Mantua. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mantua is a rich and diverse environment in the heart of Italian artistic and cultural heritage, which experienced its heyday in the Renaissance under the rule of the Gonzaga family, undoubtedly influencing the taste and style of the brand, deeply rooted in the territory. Through the best of Italian craftsmanship and savoir-faire, we tirelessly promote our passion for beauty, dressing men around the world with style and extreme naturalness. The Mantuan factory is still today the creative forge of the company, where design and research meet in the production of garments and accessories, from ready-to-wear to the Made-to-Measure service, making Corneliani synonymous with Italian refinement and elegance beyond borders.
