WELCOME TO
CASTANGIA DAL 1850

HISTORY

The Castangia story begins in 1850, when the Savoy Dynasty was still governing the Sardinian city of Cagliari.  That is when Giovanni Castangia opened his signature tailor shop, the first in Italy, and began making suits for the wealthy and powerful.  In fact, the atelier was so well regarded by the Savoys that the family issued the company it royal warrant, which is still embroidered on the label.

SARTORIAL LEGACY

You can not say the jacket is from Naples, Venice, Rome or Milan, all you can say is that it is an Italian-syle jacket, and that it looks like it was made by a true tailor.

CAGLIARI, SARDINIA ITALY

Sardinia became the focus of the rivalry of Genoa, Pisa, and the Crown of Aragon, which eventually subsumed the island as the Kingdom of Savoy; from Piedmont, the Savoyards pursued a policy of expansion to the rest of the Italian peninsula, having their Kingdom of Sardinia be later renamed into "Kingdom of Italy" in 1861.
