A Visual Diary of Brunello Cucinelli’s Headquarters in Umbria, Italy. Documented by our Creative Director Marc De Rose through the lens of a 1978 Olympus XA

Solomeo is a medieval hamlet whose foundation probably dates back to the reclamation of the land in the twelfth century, which saved the valley from abandonment and marked the beginning of its agri-cultural revival. The people who worked on the reclamation built their first houses on the top of the gentle hill because the air was purer.
