Caruso traces back to 1958, when Neapolitan tailor Raffaele Caruso brought his tailoring craft to Soragna, near Parma. After his death, Umberto Angeloni, formerly CEO of Brioni, took over the company and steered it toward a more international footing, a direction continued today under Marco Angeloni; the house now also manufactures for other luxury labels alongside its own line. More than 450 artisans work at its Soragna workshop, and ownership recently passed from the Lanvin Group to MondeVita Italy, part of the Mondevo Group.
