History
Originally a family-owned firm, its history stretches back to the 1930s when Alfredo Corneliani set up a small business making raincoats and coats, which was then put on hold during World War II.
Alfredo's sons Claudio and Carlalberto later set up Corneliani S.p.A. in Mantua in 1958.[1] In 1985 the company set up Corneliani USA Inc. in New York to distribute its ranges throughout the US and Canada. In 1997 Corneliani opened its flagship store in Via Montenapoleone, in Milan. In 2005 Corneliani received the Leonardo Prize for Quality, awarded by the President of Italy to Italian companies which promote Italian-made goods.[2]
