The article explores how various designers, including Brunello Cucinelli, draw inspiration from their birthplaces to shape their brands. This approach not only influences the aesthetic of their work but also promotes economic and cultural investment in the communities that shaped them. Cucinelli's restoration of Solomeo illustrates this ethos, where he prioritizes architectural dignity, craftsmanship, and the establishment of local institutions like theaters and schools, ultimately aiming for a soulful vision of luxury that honors and preserves local heritage for future generations.
For Brunello Cucinelli, founder, chairman and CEO of his eponymous fashion house, the restoration of Solomeo is a deeply personal act - far more than simply establishing a company headquarters.
Here, he has expanded his company's operations, while also building a theater and a library, among many other projects, laying the foundation for a slower, more soulful vision of luxury.
The restoration of Solomeo is more than heritage preservation. It's a spiritual and economic investment in the future, a mission to ensure the dignity, culture and beauty of his home survives long after his lifetime.
Knitwear, the foundation of his fashion house, is as rooted in the local tradition as the stone architecture of Solomeo - centuries old.
