History / The beginning

The true story of a little tailor

Cristiano di Thiene S.p.A. came to life from Cristiano Sperotto’s workshop; he was very young when he began to work in 1942 as tailor for men’s clothes in Mossano (Vicenza). In 1960 the founder moved to Thiene where he began to manufacture his first leather coats and the following years he specialized in the production of high-end shearling clothing.

In 1979, when his sons Paolo and Armando Pio joined the family business, the workshop began its industrial production phase under the name of Cristiano di Thiene S.p.A.. The namesake brand “Cristiano di Thiene” started to obtain a foothold in the domestic and international markets becoming synonymous with quality and development as for styling and for the selection of fine leather to be used through more and more innovative tanning techniques. The company is close to the little but historical and glorious airport “Arturo Ferrarin” in Thiene and this proximity helped to create a more and more important partnership between the company owners and the pilots of Aeronautica Militare. Thus, the company has been producing leather jackets for the pilots of Aeronautica Militare and Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale Frecce Tricolori for more than 30 years.

Brand

La Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale nacque ufficialmente nel 1961 per volontà dell’Aeronautica Militare con il fine di creare un gruppo permanente per l’addestramento all’acrobazia aerea collettiva dei piloti. L’acrobazia aerea militare collettiva ebbe però la sua prima espressione presso la scuola di Campoformido, sede del 1° Stormo. Alla fine degli anni ‘20, infatti, il Comandante Colonnello Rino Corso Fougier, convinse lo Stato Maggiore dell’allora Regia Aeronautica, che il perfetto pilota militare avrebbe potuto usare l’aeroplano con la massima efficacia nell’impiego bellico solo dopo aver acquisito sicurezza, padronanza e coordinazione in qualsiasi assetto di volo. Da allora cominciarono a formarsi numerose pattuglie nei vari reparti da caccia che avevano compiti tanto addestrativi che dimostrativi. Ricordiamo tra queste il Cavallino Rampante, i Getti Tonanti, i Diavoli Rossi, le Tigri Bianche e i Lanceri Neri che si esibivano in occasione delle più importanti manifestazioni in Italia e all’estero. Nel 1961 lo Stato Maggiore dell’Aeronautica Militare decise di costituire a Rivolto, in Friuli, una sola pattuglia acrobatica nazionale composta dai migliori elementi disponibili, sotto la guida del Maggiore Mario Squarcina. La base di Rivolto fu ritenuta idonea perché rispondeva a buoni requisiti meteorologici e perché era poco interessata dal traffico militare operativo. Prese vita così il 313° Gruppo di Addestramento Acrobatico Frecce Tricolori che oggi, con una formazione composta da nove velivoli e un solista, costituisce la più numerosa pattuglia acrobatica del mondo.
