"One Hundred and Twenty Years in Business." Presentation at Rizzoli Bookstore Milan
07.05.2026 – It took place at the Rizzoli Bookstore in Milan the presentation of the book “Chiorino. One Hundred and Twenty Years of Business”, published by Rizzoli Illustrati. The volume tells the story of the company and the Chiorino family through the texts of Luca Masia and the photographs of Edoardo Delille.
The book retraces more than a century of industrial evolution, from the company’s origins in 1906 with its foundation in Biella by Lorenzo Chiorino to the international growth of the Group, highlighting the journey that led the company “from leather to the most advanced synthetic materials, from Biella to the world.” It is a story in which memory and innovation are closely connected, conveying the complexity and continuity of a family business now in its fourth generation.
The event, moderated by Francesco Mandressi (Mondadori), featured author Luca Masia and photographer Edoardo Delille in conversation with Gregorio Chiorino (President), Matteo Chiorino (CEO) and Elisa Chiorino (Board of Directors).
The discussion offered direct insight into the values, strategic choices, and vision that have guided the Group’s growth over time.
Particular attention was dedicated to the photographic project accompanying the book, which evocatively combines the industrial dimension with the surrounding territory and landscape, creating a visually powerful narrative.
The evening concluded with a convivial gathering, providing an opportunity for guests and participants to meet and engage in conversation.
