Company history

Brunello Cucinelli founded the company in 1978, built around the idea of women’s sweaters in colored cashmere. In 1985, he acquired a ruined castle in Solomeo and established the company’s home there; in 2000, he expanded production by converting a factory in the valley below the village.[1][33]
