1958 - The Chicco brand is born
After the birth of his son Enrico, affectionately named Chicco, Pietro Catelli has its greatest entrepreneurial intuition: to create a brand specialised in the field of baby care, to meet all the needs of the babies from 0 to 36 months. This marked the beginning of the trademark Chicco, a brand which soon became the reference for parents and established itself as the market leader in Italy and then worldwide.

Light-heartedness and Transparency
Taking care of a child is a serious business. We know this but think that it is equally important to relax a little every now and then. Because the experience of being a parent is by very definition a happy and positive one too. Our products are simple and straightforward – it is instantly recognisable what they are. They are the ultimate in user-friendliness. The language we use is also designed to be plain-speaking yet raise a smile at the same time.
