Paolo Pianezza inherited the business, a unique combination of art and commerce, from his father, Celestino Pianezza. Celestino founded the first studio for jacquard ties in Como and was an innovator in many aspects of silk fabrication and design. Today, Paolo continues the tradition with the help of his wife Maria, son Michele, and daughter Paola - making the Collezione Pianezza an authentic family business. For the discriminating consumer, this family heritage means that Pianezza designs and products may be trusted to reflect an unerring passion for quality.
