Sartoria Litrico

About

Bespoke legends since 1951. Among the most elegant corners of Rome, in the Parioli district, a stone's throw from the Belgian Embassy. That's where Sartoria Litrico is located. A parenthesis of the history of the Dolce Vita passed in front of the test mirror which is still used in the Atelier today, together with the furnishings made by the artists who have lived there since 1951, when Angelo Litrico opened the laboratory in the old headquarters in via Sicilia. From Vittorio Gassman to American President Kennedy, from Andreotti to Mastroianni. A model of bespoke men's haute couture that has inspired stylists such as Valentino and Renato Balestra. Here, the magic of the past is found in the precious archive (heritage recognized by the Ministry of Culture) and in the atmosphere of a "creative artisan workshop", which welcomes customers as if they were in the living room of their own home to still create, as seventy years ago, the perfect dress.
