L'Alpina Maglierie Sportive S.p.A. was founded by Leardo Gabrielli in 1946. His founder's aim was to enter in a revolutionary way into the knitwear market with innovative fabrics and excellent "technical" yarns. L'Alpina soon understood the great possibility that the fast growing sportswear market offered and created a new line of knitwear for ski that made L'Alpina become FISI sponsor in 1971. |
