Our Clients
One Brand, Two Independent Identities
​​
Controvento is a shared brand that brings together two distinct and independent companies, each with its own structure, operations, and client portfolio.
​
The Controvento – FT Collection was founded in 2004 by Ferruccio Tirone, marking the birth of the Controvento brand. ​
In 2016, Simona Bonetti established her own company and launched the Controvento – SB Collection.
While the two companies remain fully independent, they are united by a common set of values, a shared ethic, and a strong commitment to excellence and innovation.
​
Together, they embody the spirit of Controvento, each through their own unique perspective.
