Sacchetti

Angelo Sacchetti (1922-1997). Journalist, PR, press and advertising agent, and organizer of fashion events. After World War II, armed with a degree in literature, he turned to journalism writing for Ciak, Costume and other magazines. In 1950, he worked with Ezio Redaelli for the Miss Italia competition, becoming the cinematographic press agent. A chance meeting with Giansevero Fila in 1958 took him into the world of textiles and, in 1961, he became wholly involved with public relations and advertising for fashion houses, looking after their contacts with the press. He also organized some shows at the Festival of Men’s Fashion at San Remo, of Moda-Mare Capri and Cortina Moda. Extrovert, friendly, and with immense vitality, he is remembered for example for the time when, for the launch of a product, he hired out the Castel Sant’Angelo, illuminating it with 900 torches. In his final years, he organized the Liguria Moda-Mare al Covo di Nord-Est and Cinema Festival del Mare in the gardens of Naxos.
