Founded in 1927 and relocated in 1930 to its historic headquarters in Desenzano del Garda, Gallo specializes in the production of high-quality socks, having recently expanded into clothing and accessories.
In 1998, Giuseppe Colombo became CEO and creative director of the company: it was his vision to move from traditional sock models to those featuring various colors and patterns, giving the brand a strong and well-defined identity.
In 2024, Gallo recorded consolidated revenues of approximately Euro 30 million, with over 40 stores in Italy and France, accounting for 70% of total sales.
With this transaction, Alto Partners aims to support the brand’s international development while preserving its identity.
Giuseppe Colombo will retain the remaining 30% stake, as well as his role as chairman and creative director of the company.
