La Rinascente (Italian for 'the Resurgent'; pronounced ) is a collection of high-end stores with Italian and international brands in fashion, accessories, beauty, homeware, design, and food. It operates eleven stores in Italy, including its general headquarters in Milan and two flagship stores in Rome. It was a member of the International Association of Department Stores from 1959 to 2008, with various CEOs acting as presidents of the association over time. In 1865, brothers Luigi and Ferdinando Bocconi opened in Via Santa Radegonda, Milan the first shop in Italy that sold ready-to-wear clothing. By the following year, they employed over a hundred workers to manufacture ready-to-wear suits for men. Between 1872 and 1876, they set up branches in Via del Corso in Rome as well as in Genoa, Trieste, Palermo, and Turin. In 1877 they opened the department store Aux Villes d'Italie ("To the Cities of Italy") at the Hotel Comfortable. This was the first of its kind in Italy, and was conceived following the model of Aristide Boucicaut's store, Le Bon Marché in Paris, made famous by Émile Zola in his 1883-novel Au Bonheur des Dames. In 1880, the store took the Italianized name Alle città d'Italia, and in 1887 a new store designed by Giulio De Angelis opened in Rome in Piazza Colonna. In 1889, the new building of Piazza Duomo designed by Giovanni Giachi opened its doors in Milan. More information...
