‘When the Bersaglieri opened the breach of Porta Pia in 1870 and the Kingdom of Italy also annexed the Papal States, the national economy went through a period of extraordinary vitality. Giuseppe made further investments (…). His idea was to expand outside the borders, following the waves of emigration to Latin America and the exploration of Africa. The company’s records show that fabrics produced in Albiate in the following years regularly arrived in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Brazil. The trademark is the design of a goat, to which Giuseppe dedicates great attention, with the intention of imprinting it in the memory of customers of Italian origin who, on the other side of the Atlantic, desire models similar to those sold at home.” (p. 24).
