Italy / France - Restoration project will be Kering’s tribute to Florence 13 January 2021
Luxury group Kering has announced that it will make a contribution to a restoration project at one of Florence’s most famous buildings, the Palazzo Vecchio, reports Leatherbiz.
Specifically, Kering will contribute to the renovation of the lighting system in the Michelozzo courtyard of the palace. The project will begin in the months ahead and continue throughout 2021.
Chief executive, François-Henri Pinault, said Kering’s desire was “to help the city during a particularly difficult time”.
He said that Florence and the wider region of Tuscany were the first places to come to mind on thinking about the best parts of the world for investing in the craftsmanship and managerial skills that Kering relies on to make its products. “It has always offered us the highest quality,” he said.
