The Altagamma Foundation (in Italian: Fondazione Altagamma) is the Italian luxury brands committee composed of companies in the fields of design, fashion, food, jewellery, automobiles, and hospitality.[1]

History

The Altagamma Foundation was created in 1992 by Italian luxury brands including Alessi, Les Copains, Ferragamo, Ferré, Zegna and Versace.[2]

In 2012, the Foundation finalized the financing for the transformation of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.[3]

In 2015, Altagamma launched the prize Premio Giovani Imprese to reward young luxury companies and offer them a one-year membership into the Foundation.[4] The Foundation also launched a new cursus to develop luxury craftsmanship in Italy.[5]

In December 2019, Matteo Lunelli, president of Ferrari Trento, was named president of Altagamma for the 2020-2022 period.[6]

Description

The Altagamma Foundation commissions global research studies on behalf of its members, with the goal to protect the luxury reputation of its members.[2] It fulfills a similar function as the French Comité Colbert.
