Gentili Mosconi S p A : REPORT 2022 – EN

We have chosen to dedicate our sustainability report to a giant of creativity, the Como-based illustrator Beppe Spadacini, who turns eighty this year. Born in Cernobbio in 1943, Spadacini began his amazing career as an illustrator when he was only sixteen years old, and shortly afterwards founded his own design studio inspired by the exotic flora and fauna of Hawaii, Indonesia and South America. However, it was

Bali and its magnificent natural beauty that influenced the

artist's future creations, beautifully seen in the majority of his printed publications and in his huge archive of drawings. Spadacini's talent, recognised and appreciated by numerous stylists (including Versace, Etro, Valentino and Missoni), is the heartbeat of our report, which is illustrated with references to the 2,000+ drawings that have become part of the large Gentili Mosconi archive.

Dear readers,

Not he who begins but he who perseveres: our motto, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and borrowed from the Italian Navy training ship Amerigo Vespucci, has never proved more appropriate and defining of a year that promises to be exciting. Our Euronext Growth Milan listing, which took place in February 2023, will increase our prestige in the eyes of suppliers and customers alike, and reinforces our intention to ensure a controlled succession for our company.

In Italy, where only one in ten family businesses survive through to the first generation, we have officially taken the first step on our path of corporate transformation while staying true to our DNA. In fact, from now on, our pursuit of beauty can accelerate thanks to the injection of capital that will allow us to expand our

acquisition portfolio and the verticalisation of

our production capacities that already began in

2015 with the acquisition of EMME.

In the fast-paced world of global fashion, it's crucial for brands to find suppliers who can deliver both production flexibility and a steadfast commitment to sustainability. This very issue is now deeply woven into the fabric of luxury brand strategies. At Gentili Mosconi, we embrace this challenge wholeheartedly. Our mission is to create beauty without compromise, employing sustainable production processes and partnering with meticulously chosen suppliers who share our unwavering ethical principles. We strive to be more than just a supplier; we aspire to be a hub of culture and excellence - a trusted cornerstone for both supply chains and luxury brands alike.

We're looking to 2023 with confidence, and with determination to further invest in the sustainability and integration of our production capacities.

Every impediment is destroyed by rigour: a fitting note to end on, once again from Leonardo, stated with conviction that the responsibility, perseverance and courage demonstrated in recent years will be the solid foundations on which to build our future.

The ship represented by our logo is the training ship of the Italian Navy 'Amerigo Vespucci', with its famous motto "Not who begins, but who perseveres" - a phrase attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. This spirit complements the values of our company, and in particular our commitment to resilience. The logo, chosen by our founders, is especially

relevant as Gentili Mosconi began life by

supplying accessories to the Navy.
