Michael ,
just a clarification about F.lli Manna, P.zzetta Matilde Serao 7 Naples :
both the Manna brothers (my previous tailors) retired more than 5 years ago closing their workshop in P.zzetta Matilde Serao.
Angelo,

That is a shame. The suit they made me is excellent. The list of tailors diminishes year by year.

I have amended the list.

Cheers

Michael

I have first known of Mr Volpe in the late 90's, when I guess it was already well known in Naples and was frequenlty visiting Rome where he had already a large clientele. If my memory serves me correctly, he has worked under Angelo Blasi before setting up on his own. Unfortunatelly, I believe his prices have gone up with his growing fame, after he become the tailor amongst other of Fiona Swarowski's housband, also known to be an Austrian Finance Minister (Karl-Heinz Grasser).

And there are many other tailors around the Via Duomo/Via Ciccone area that are not even listed on directories (again, if I remember correctly, there was a pretty good shirtmaker in the same building as Mr Volpe which was not listed anywhere...)
Some pictures I have found of the wedding suit made by Gianni Volpe: any comments?
