In the Venetian mainland, between Palladio's villas and hills planted with vineyards, you can find the workshops of Atelier Pietro Longhi. Hundreds of square meters immersed in a luxuriant garden house: the tailor's and the hat’s workroom and the warehouse of the costumes produced in over 30 years, are waiting for you to show the art of fashion!

About us

From the shared vision of the tailor Francesco Briggi and the milliner Anna Zappella, the Atelier Pietro Longhi was founded in 1994, where the art of costume meets historical research, culture, and bespoke luxury.

A point of reference for the Venice Carnival, cultural institutions, and international collectors, the Atelier is today a renowned excellence in the European sartorial landscape.
