The family hat business history spans through more than a century. Giovanni Papini, now head of the company, is the guardian of the industrial heritage dating back to the Oreste Cinelli hat factory, founded in 1886 in Signa and which soon became one of the largest Tuscan and Italian straw hat manufacturers. Raffaello Bettini – Giovanni’s grandfather and a nephew of Oreste – created the business, which bears his name in 1938. Raffaello was later joined by his daughter Giovanna, who will meet in the factory the man who will shortly after become her husband, Primo Papini, Raffaello’s partner since the dawn of the activity.
