Leather from 1945

The Rizzi family

Rizzi is an historical name in the raw, wet blue and semi-finished leather business. The activity of Rizzi Pellami company is strictly related to the work of Mr. Francesco Rizzi, its founder, born the 26th January 1921. He founded his individual company in 1945, the Franco Rizzi Pelli Grezze (Raw Leather). He knew the business when he was young because he has worked in his grandfather’s tannery in Lungadige Panvinio (Verona) since his graduation, then he collaborated with his father in law, who has a tannery in San Giovanni Lupatoto (Verona).
