Alberto Fassi: "To start a business, never stop dreaming"

Alberto Fassi, a 25-year-old entrepreneur from Bergamo, founded Legami in 2003 with 7,000 euros in severance pay and a Master's degree in creativity. Today, Legami is a well-known brand with 5,000 products, 1,400 employees, and a 2025/2026 turnover of 383 million euros. Fassi's vision is to spread positivity and make people dream, as reflected in the company's claim "We are dreamers".

Legami has also launched the Dreamland project, a 30-hectare protected natural reserve in Bergamo, where 6,600 plants have already been planted, with the goal of becoming Italy's largest urban park. The company, a Benefit Society, donates 5% of its profits to environmental and social initiatives.
