PINTO ARCHIVE
The Uliassi family has always looked after and enhanced its archives. Hence the desire to take care of the company’s historical archive, finding a new location for it and starting a meticulous cataloging and digitization process.
The archive boasts 260 thousand pieces, divided between fabric hangers, printed fabrics, paintings, paper sketches, scarves and pieces of clothing, both vintage and modern. Furthermore, around 390 historical drawing books are preserved in the archive spaces, some dating back to 1800. Important numbers, which also take into account recent acquisitions, those of the Jermi archive and the private archive of Giuseppe Menta, one of the favorite designers by Gianni Versace, composed of approximately 32 thousand paper sketches and approximately 10 thousand fabric hangers.
A constantly evolving treasure which, thanks to the most advanced technology, is available to the company’s customers. On the interactive digital table in the archive, equipped with the Vedo program, it is in fact possible to explore the prints already digitized and classified (around 195 thousand), and test them on a specific item of clothing, from coats to ponchos through trousers and t-shirts , to view the yield. An approach that speeds up the work carried out together with the customers who turn to Achille Pinto, making it efficient and precise.

Franco Ferrari, a small artisanal
jewel founded in 1973
A small but solid niche company, known for the manufacturing of scarves, stoles and shawls, which was acquired by Achille Pinto in 2002 with a solid know-how of tailoring and artisan techniques. Franco Ferrari is today Achille Pinto’s brand of creative and technical experimentation, developed by Lisa Uliassi and produced strictly in Italy with a distinctive identity that reinterprets the iconic essence of the scarf and is transformed into a collection of women’s clothing and accessories.
