Limonta was founded in 1893 in Costamasnaga, a locality that neighbours with Como and so forms part of an area claiming one of Europe's longest surviving textile traditions. Initial manufacturing operations were directed at hangings and jacquard cloths, products which at once earned Limonta distinction through the elevated standards of their workmanship. The early decades of this century were a period of diversification as the company - market-orientated even at this early stage - extended its range to include gobelin tapestries, matelasse' fabrics, a variety of jacquard weaves, and velvet. In the process it acquired a general know-how in textile manufacturing craft that is impressive for its breadth and variety and which remains to this day one of its great strengths.
