Find out about the new story of the Cotonificio Olcese Ferrari yarn company, which began at the start of the last century
A manufacturer of artisan yarns, Cotonificio Olcese was founded in 1904 in Piancogno by the Milanese industrialist Vittorio Olcese. It is part of the history of Valle Camonica since the first working village was built alongside the company – a village that is as unequalled now as it was then.
Cotonificio Ferrari was established in 1919 in the province of Brescia, and soon became one of the major businesses in the area and beyond the national borders, attracting labour from the central and southern regions of Italy.
