The great leaders
Angelo Litrico
From Catania to Rome: Angelo Litrico was one of the first Italian stylists. A man of great inventiveness and creativity, able to conquer everyone, from the most important actors of the time such as Rossano Brazzi and Vittorio Gassman, to the great world leaders such as Nikita Khrushchev, of whom he took care of the entire wardrobe, John F.

The Litrico Man
Sartoria Litrico’s main principle of constantly pursuing esthetical perfection aims to dignify the men wearing its clothes. The first thing done by a good tailor is getting to know the person in front of him, analysing his strengths, weaknesses, features and personality. Real elegance is given by a timeless suit, enhancing the person wearing it.
