As Matteo himself explains, “My biggest influence was from a different time.” 

Growing up in Verona, Italy, Matteo knew from a young age that he was destined to lead an artistic, creative life. He was surrounded by the natural beauty of a city that can trace its origins back to the Roman Empire, and yet the most lasting impression was made on him by his own great-grandfather. A businessman born at the end of the 19th century who wore impeccably tailored three-piece suits and pocket watches, he inspired Matteo to appreciate the time and care that went into finely-crafted clothing – and to understand that what you choose to wear says more about you than you realize.  “We are each other’s scenery,” he used to say, and saw dressing well as a sign of respect to others.

Every Sunday, Matteo’s great-grandfather would take him to their local church in Verona. Embedded in its steeple was a round pane of stained glass with a spoked design, which Matteo adopted as his brand logo to pay lasting tribute to the man who inspired him so much. 

Matteo came to appreciate fabric and texture, and traveled the world soaking up experiences from artisans and master craftsmen, drawing inspiration for his designs.

Strong word of mouth built steadily, and Matteo would find himself in demand by select international clientele looking for specially made pieces that fit them in every sense of the word: exceptional fabrics that made them feel comfortable, cut into styles that suited them, woven together with elements of their own personal stories. Matteo designs for those looking for piecesthat express who they are beyond flashy logos. Pieces rooted in tradition but open to new and evolving forms of expression.

Matteo serves his discerning clientele from his boutique in the exclusive enclave of Jackson Hole, Wyoming as well as his home base in Italy, which he shares with his wife, Lisa, and their three children.
