About Patio umbrellas / Fabio Poggesi

Ombrellificio Poggesi was founded in the mid-1960s when the entrepreneurial spirit of traditional craftsmen launched the production of umbrellas as rain shelters. In that boom in Italy, no longer agriculture-based but not yet industrial, when the local market was the real shopping centre, production rapidly changed from rain shelters to market stall umbrellas.
The next step was to flank professional market production with garden umbrellas: the classic umbrella with wooden central pole and canopy in ecru cotton.
From that moment on, Ombrellificio Poggesi developed its product range in terms of design, materials, function and style.
Changing everyday needs which see the garden as an extension to living space have called for strong commitment, the result of constantly updated know-how in the design, production and patenting of technically astonishing, eye-catching side-arm umbrellas which in a very short time placed Ombrellificio Poggesi among the sector leaders.
