Biography

Luciano Benetton started the Benetton Group in 1965 with his three siblings, Carlo (d.2018), Gilberto (d.2018) and Giuliana.

Known for their colorful sweaters, Benetton won over parts of the world, opening its first store in Paris in 1969 and reaching New York in 1980.

In 2018, 12 years after leaving and allowing outside managers to take on greater roles, Luciano returned to help turn the company around.

The family has invested in Italian businesses including Mundys, a highway infrastructure company that accounts for more than half their fortune.

About

Luciano was elected to the Italian Senate in 1992 and served until 1994.

At age 14 Luciano's father died. Soon after he started working at a clothing store to help his family make ends meet.
