Theatrical Tailoring Florence

Sartoria Teatrale Antonietta was founded in 1952 by the creativity of Signora Antonietta, a fashion enthusiast and lover of period costumes. Her first job was to supply costumes for the theatrical part of the film "I Vitelloni" by Federico Fellini shot at the Goldoni theatre in Florence. She began by working for revue companies making costumes of all fantasies. In the early 1960s she devoted herself to historical costumes making costumes from all eras. Antonietta's work has been handed down to the following generations who continue to carry it out with the same passion and competence.

Today, Sartoria Teatrale Antonietta makes, sells and hires costumes for historical re-enactments of all eras, plays, operas and costume films. Our tailor's shop specialises in the hire and sale of evening and formal wear. All our garments are of high quality, the cut is classic and meticulous in every detail, made of 100% pure wool and therefore suitable for both summer and winter. The garments are new or semi-new, with antifungal and antibacterial treatment. We specialise in the creation and hire of medieval costumes, renaissance costumes, eighteenth-century costumes, nineteenth-century costumes, early twentieth-century costumes, costumes for plays and operas, and carnival costumes.
