Being a family means projecting the family’s founding values
onto the company you own and manage.
The element that probably stands out the most about Canali when compared to other companies
is the importance we give to our people.
Courtesy and politeness are two recurring terms within our company,
and are expressions of the way that we behave as a family
and the way we interpret relationships with our collaborators within the company.
A discreet way to show interest and passion for what we do,
and for what we tell each other and our people.
When we were kids, on Saturdays we used to visit our dad at the company
So, we entered into the company in Triuggio,
we used to go upstairs and we could see dad
who was in the last office on the left, bent over his desk
filling out papers and doing calculations.
I remember when I joined this company,
in the early days of January 1998,
I had just come back from two years in the United States working in a completely different industry,
in the financial industry.
It was exciting.
The best advice my father gave me when I joined the company
was to never feel as if I had made it.
My father is the living representation of what the whole Canali story is.
he is a person with important experience
a person with whom there are still significant moments of confrontation
which are very useful to all of us.
From the very beginning, Canali has had the objective of creating the highest quality product,
built according to a tailor’s rules.
The challenging goal has been to turn the art created by a single person, with their precious hands,
into a production process that interprets the same art through the hands of many others.
The elegance that we convey through our clothing does not need to be in any way flaunted
it is an elegance that must allow our client to express himself effectively,
in a subtle and complete way, that is never too obvious.
When one of our customers wears a Canali jacket
he perceives the quality of the fabric, he feels the softness of the lining,
he feels the comfort of wearing the jacket.
The wish that we all have in mind is thinking about this company for the next 5 years.
If even just 80% of the projects we have already outlined can reach the expected level.
This requires a commitment on everyone's part
day after day, side by side
to growing a reality that for 85 years, inexorably, has been increasing.
