In the moving slopes of Umbria, Italy, Brunello Cucinelli has constructed his city upon a slope—actually. The 65-year-old Italian architect with an inclination for citing Socrates and Saint Benedict has been meticulously reestablishing a medieval town called Solomeo, at the same time changing a calm country network into a flourishing assembling focus. 

For over two decades, a fourteenth century castlecum-production line was the improbable provenance of beautiful cashmere isolates now conveyed at in excess of 126 Brunello Cucinelli stores the world over. In this material ideal world—where representatives are paid 20 percent over the national normal—Cucinelli, the child of a bond assembly line laborer, has modified squares, repaved roads, and included a theater and a library.

"My principle wellspring of motivation was according to my dad when he used to be embarrassed and affronted at work," he says.Now Cucinelli is setting his sights past the dividers of SoloBmeo's nectar shaded château. Because of the brand's exponential development, the organization base camp was moved for all time in 2010 to the valley beneath the town. "This territory wasn't so charitable," Cucinelli says of land that had been loaded up with mechanical structures and distribution centers. "So we chose to decorate it." Never substance to do anything considerably measures, Cucinelli left on an unobtrusively titled "Venture for Beauty," to be finished this fall.

The central command will be enclosed by a huge garden, and a horticultural stop will highlight natural product plantations, brilliant fields of wheat and gleaming spans of horse feed, a labyrinth formed vineyard, a winery, and an olive forest with the trees planted around to speak to the state of the world. Be that as it may, maybe the pièce de résistance is the landmark A Tribute to Human Dignity, which was worked from a similar marble utilized by Michelangelo. Says Cucinelli, "I figure it will at present be remaining in a thousand years."
