History
Early days
Trussardi was established in 1911 by Dante Trussardi as a leather glove maker, serving both the public and the Italian army during World War II. After Dante's death, his son Giordano took over. In 1970, Nicola Trussardi succeeded his father following the accidental death of his brother Dante. Nicola's wife, Marialuisa, became the creative director. During the 1970s, Trussardi diversified into other leather goods and apparel, adopting the Italian greyhound as its logo. Nicola took full control of the business after his father's death.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Trussardi” as italian fashion company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as italian fashion company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2456630. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1911, 2024, 1947 and 1970.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
