Brunello Cucinelli

In the hills of Umbria, inside a restored 14th-century castle, Brunello Cucinelli has built something radical: a billion-dollar fashion empire that refuses to follow the industry's rules. No emails after hours. No compromising on worker dignity. No sacrificing craftsmanship for profit margins. This is the story of how a farmer's son from rural Italy created what he calls "humanistic capitalism" — and why it works.
