Brunello Cucinelli

Born to a family in a small farming community outside of Perugia Italy, Brunello Cucinelli dropped out of school at age 24 to start his namesake cashmere company Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A.  Today he operates the luxury apparel empire from his 14^th century castle in Solomeo, Italy. Strong beliefs in local manufacturing, fair and equitably working conditions for employees, and giving back to the local community are key values that shape this luxury brand.
