The history of Panizza began in the year 1879, along the shores of Lake Maggiore.
Thanks to the great technical skills and entrepreneurial intuition that led the brand to establish itself on international markets, Panizza soon became one of the world's most famous hat makers.

In 1981, the production was transferred to the "Cappellificio Falcus" an hat factory in Montevarchi (Tuscany), an area that boasts a long and estimable tradition in hat manufacturing.

Today, Panizza's philosophy is based on high craftsmanship, careful attention to detail, the search for excellent felts, and big attention to sustainability.
