“I’ll tell you a Venetian story two centuries long. Of five generations and six brands, on five continents: our story, that of yesterday, today and tomorrow”
alessandro favaretto rubelli
There has always been a very close tie between precious fabrics and the lagoon city. Even today it is possible to find places in Venice, sometimes hidden away, sometimes located in ancient palaces and residences, where the precious textile still holds sway. Fabrics that nowadays furnish luxurious homes all over the world, the houses of the powerful, the most famous theaters, churches and basilicas, the most exclusive hotels and yachts. In Venice, in the sestiere of San Marco, Palazzo Corner Spinelli houses the showroom of Rubelli, a firm founded in 1858. Even though Rubelli has now become a multinational that manufactures its products in Como and Pennsylvania, the quality of its damasks, its silks and its velvets remains unique, with the result that Rubelli is recognized as one of the world’s four most prestigious companies in its sector.
