FLORENCE AS FIORENTE
Florence is not just a city name;
it is not only the cradle, since the Middle Ages, of high-quality textile manufacturing;
it is not just the epicenter of the thought revolution that, with humanism, placed man at the center and the homeland of the Italian Renaissance.
Florence is not just a place but a state of mind.
The name Florentia derives from the Latin word florentes, used to indicate those lush plains.
(Florens adj. flourishing, blooming, luxuriant)
Gruppo Florence was created in Tuscany, its development shaped by the region’s cultural, philosophical and production heritage. A heritage that is acknowledged, cherished and nurtured by the Group every day.
A rich legacy that sees history and contemporaneity, elegance and efficiency, tradition and innovation coalesce in a single manufacturing group for luxury fashion.
