Salvatore Piccolo’s history is woven, like the thread of a fabric, with the innermost soul of Naples, with its people, with it’s past, but also to its vitality and its desire to reinvent itself.

Way back in 1351, in the church of S. Eligio al Mercato, the Confraternita dei Sartori (Tailors Association) was established and, with it, the famous Neapolitan tailoring academy. Salvatore’s mother, Maria Cavagnoli, was also proficient in this ancient and refined art and made bespoke shirts from home in the same district of Piazza Mercato.
