What Candido 1859 is known for
Fifth-generation clothing store in Maglie, Puglia, opened 1859 by Clemente Candido on Piazza Municipio; now womenswear, menswear and childrenswear inside a historic palazzo on Piazza Aldo Moro.
Candido 1859 traces its founding to 1859, when Clemente Candido opened a shop in what was then Maglie's Piazza Municipio, selling fabrics, hats, stockings, canes and trousseau accessories. The business has stayed in the Candido family for five generations; it is currently run by Anna Chiara Candido and her husband Marco Candido. Today the store sells women's, men's and children's clothing from a location inside a historic palazzo at Piazza Aldo Moro 9 in central Maglie, in Italy's Puglia region. Italian trade body Unioncamere lists it among the country's 'historic enterprises,' and regional press has covered its multi-generational continuity as one of the longest-running retail businesses in the area.
