Here in 1958 arrived from Naples Raffaele Caruso, who puts on a small dressmaking workshop. Raffaele is a creative man and its products are highly valued, and that’s how the small workshop became a factory and the factory a manufacturing industry.
Today Caruso is a brand appreciated worldwide, so much so that he could afford a testimonial of respect, do you remember a guy named Giancarlo Giannini?
