Cesare Paciotti was born in Civitanova Marche to Giuseppe and Cecilia.

Paciotti’s profound attraction and his immense love for accessories culminated right at home as his parents, Cecilia and Giuseppe Paciotti, owned a local shoe factory that manufactured high-end shoes. As a teenager Paciotti had a strong passion for music, specifically the Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors and Patty Smith who all left an unforgettable mark on his childhood as they pushed him to expand his creative abilities by playing the organ.

Cesare Paciotti’s love for art drove him to attend one of Italy’s most renowned colleges, the DAMS in Bologna. During his academic years, Cesare Paciotti refined his artistic talents, along with his curiosity for all things art. Upon graduation, he travelled around the world to cultural landmarks such as London, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, New Delhi and Dubai.

Throughout his travels Cesare Paciotti observed the foreign cultures as well as their different use of colors and flavours and developed a strong sense of style. By the time Cesare Paciotti returned home to Italy, he had a strong desire to transform his knowledge of the foreign worlds into something concrete and creatively unique. He took over his parents’ business and launched his first men’s collection with a unique taste that he decided to simply name Cesare Paciotti. Thus the brand was born.

Cesare Paciotti’s innovative ideas and provocative designs have earned him tremendous recognition worldwide. Always ready to explore new avenues, he established important friendships and collaborations with noted Italian designers such as Gianni Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Romeo Gigli and Roberto Cavalli. And today, further exploring new avenues, Cesare Paciotti has expanded to include a women’s line that is derived from a woman who is attractive, strong, sophisticated and modern and independent; qualities that are all very apparent in his new line for women.
