Founded in Naples in 1780, M. Cilento & F.llo is one of the most iconic Italian tailoring houses. Its history spans more than two centuries and is deeply rooted in the culture of elegance, quality, and the great Italian tailoring tradition.
Its origins, documented in the historical archive, have been officially recognized and protected by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, bearing witness to the value of a legacy handed down through generations.
The historic headquarters are located in the prestigious Palazzo Ludolf, on the Riviera di Chiaia in Naples, a place that over the years has welcomed nobles, intellectuals, and heads of state.
In Milan, the maison occupies a site of great historical significance: the premises of the city’s first apothecary, dating back to 1591, which later became a pharmacy in 1812 and where Carlo Erba began his business in 1837.
Today, Cilento 1780 continues to preserve and reinterpret an authentic vision of Italian elegance, combining history, tradition, and timeless style. … read more
