In 1956, after working for years in an umbrella-factory in Milan, Ernesta Pasotti opened her own workshop in her village of Castellucchio, by Mantua. Now, the brand continues to make splendid umbrellas using an artisanal method in combination with the finest Italian fabric, woods and brass. These exquisitely decorated, entirely hand-made unique pieces are sold to the best stores worldwide while maintaining the Italian tradition of the artisanal production of umbrellas.
