Intesa Sanpaolo has granted a €15 million loan to Kiton for the renovation of Palazzo Kiton in Manhattan, a six-storey building dedicated to its tailoring collection and showcasing the renowned Neapolitan brand.

The transaction is part of Intesa Sanpaolo’s broader commitment to supporting the investments made by Italian SMEs to consolidate industrial relations abroad, particularly in the US market.

This commitment was recently reaffirmed by the Bank’s mission to San Francisco, involving leading Italian companies to explore new business opportunities and meet potential investors.

Founded in 1968 by Ciro Paone, Kiton is a benchmark brand in the Italian luxury fashion sector. It operates five production sites in Italy, employs over 800 people, and has established a strong international presence, distributing its products in more than 70 countries.
