The Thread: donato's passion

VICHI FOCUS SRL is the result of our our founder Donato Vichi’s vision. Born in 1950 in Monte San Savino, Arezzo

He has the first approach with the textile world at barely 13 year old.

Afteryears of apprenticeship within the family business, he starts moving the first steps into the local textile reality at the age of 18.

The first true turning point comes sic years later. After spending enough time on-the-job he decides to open his very own business, self teaching and offering services such as mending. After that the amount of work starts growing, until collaborating with people from outside the family business becomes necessary.

After eleven years, in 1979, his first company is born under the name of CENTR RAMMENDO SAN NICCOLO’. It all starts from a small warehouse and four assistants. The first step in a long journey.

“Our company has one, big goal: learning, changing, growing every single day.”

Vichi Focus embodies this constant change, and it’s its result.

Changing and working to get better are our strong points, to guarantee an efficient and effective service.
