Every hat has a story, and the one of Gallia & Peter began in 1904, when Angela and Filippo Gallia opened their millinery business. After marrying the son of the Milanese milliner Cornelia Peter, Mariuccia Gallia participated in the first show of Italian hats at Palazzo Pitti in Florence in 1953 – since then, the brand has collaborated with important brands such as Walter Albini, Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Gianfranco Ferrè, Moschino and Gigli. Today, among the imposing palaces of Via Moscova, at number 60, the last generation of the family, Laura Marelli, showcases the family’s savoir-faire and keeps an archive of hats dating back to the late 1800s.
