Barbuti was founded by Giuseppe Menniti and Romino Marzullo in Salerno, Italy.
It takes its name from an ancient quarter in the historic centre of Salerno, named after the long beard typical of the Lombard warriors who settled there in the 7th century AD.
For centuries, Via dei Mercanti has been home to highly specialised craftsmen and tailors.
Barbuti's flagship products are still produced in the family workshops in the province of Salerno.
