At the beginning of the 1900s, Vincenzo Caccioppoli decided to leave Naples, together with his eldest son Raffaele, and to start importing clothing fabrics from Italy and the United States in Bogotà, Colombia.
There he opens a shop called “Almanacen Italia” in Plaza Bolìvar. A few years later his second son, Salvatore, also joined them in Colombia.
Around 1920, with the conclusion of the First World War, Vincenzo Caccioppoli with his two sons understood that it was the right time to return to his Naples and start a business for the sale of fabrics.
Thus was born the historic Caccioppoli shop in the heart of Naples, in Piazza Nicola Amore, which is still the current headquarters of the company.
A few years later the other two sons, Cosimo and Antonio, also joined the company, thus founding the “F.lli Caccioppoli di V.zo”.
