Renato Balestra

Renato Balestra descended from a family of architects and engineers. He began studying Civil Engineering at university; however, from a very young age, he devoted much of his time to artistic pursuits, particularly painting and music. It was only during his final year of engineering studies that he became interested in fashion, creating a collection as part of a bet among friends. Without his knowledge, the work was sent to Milan and, to his great surprise, he was invited to contribute to the creation of a haute couture collection. It was fashion that chose Renato Balestra. The transition from Milan to Rome happened quickly. From Via Sistina, where Balestra had the main location of his boutique, his international fame began to spread with the development and creation of various ventures. Throughout his career, Renato Balestra was invited to present his collections all over the world.
