It all starts from Salento.
We were born in Salento
Why "Acanto"
Our name is a symbol.
Acanthus is an ancient Mediterranean plant, strong, elegant and resistant.
It is the shape that inspired capitals, friezes, and Baroque decorations that tell the story of centuries of art and beauty in our region.
For us it is a sign that grows over time and remains over time.
A leaf that continues to grow, just like our style.
Strong roots, contemporary perspective.
Acanto is our essence.
