History

In the Naples of 1700 a young, posh and handsome man, was walking around the city, through alleys and streets… via Caracciolo, Posillipo, Mergellina. Although the winsome smile and the confident attitude, was his elegance to fascinate people: the refined jacket, the shirt with its precious buttons, the perfectly sewed trousers… it was charm, pure charm! Young ladies, simple people and even some jealous men staring him admired Who was he?

He was Giangi, a young heir of a noble family who, satisfied of his “big Tour” around the Europe, had just come back home, to enjoy the mild climate and to “sort out” his wardrobe: from the evening dress to the hunting one, many different suits to show his elegance in every social occasion Which town, in fact, if not his enchanted Naples, could provide for him everything an elegant man needs?

Today, as in the past, Giangi still enchants with his manners and his way of being. No, it is not a ghost, it is a realty, born as a case and as a challenge.

When the strength of ideas and hard working meet, like the ancient Arabian phoenix, Giangi rises itself from the ashes of a not so remote past, and his dream comes true bring his culture to new lands which can appreciate the kindness and the charm of those who are masters of their own professions.

Therefore a new label is born based on excellence, refinement and Neapolitan bon ton, combined with the taste for innovation and research.

Giulio Picone

In the ‘20s, while d’Annunzio is appealing Europe with his dandysm,the town of Naples gives life to a “place” where the good taste, the research of details and male refinement find their natural combination.

It was born the shop “Picone”. It is the “place” for the man who does not like confusing the clamour for the fashion with the fair charm of smartness.

When the researchand the conceptof excellence are uncommon, Picone boasts excellent Italian fabrics, fantastic items, a selection of unusual accessories and luxury embellishments from allover the world, offered in a warm environment, framed in handcraft mahogany and proposed with the typical discretion and elegance of Neapolitan “bon ton”.

The war, the after-war, the rebuilding of a devastated town by the mythical “four days”, the lost of everything… Nothing stops who, now rich only of his name, has a dream to keep on.

In this way the name “Picone” goes onto be a reference for the town , thanks to the works of the heirs.

Generations succeed till the intuition of one of the children of that respectable family: not more the world in Naples but… Naples in the world.
A new dream and a new challenge: to become the ambassador of your own tradition respecting the other cultures.
