After an apprenticeship with master tailors from his native region of Calabria, and experience as a cutter in Florence, Giuseppe Seminara opened his own shop on Via Manzoni in 1957. In 1967 he moved to Via de' Calzaiuoli, and since 1997 his son Gianni has been running the business. The atelier exudes a twentieth century air with its period decor. The fine (English and Italian) fabrics and fashion accessories are displayed in the front room; the next room is for fittings (three in all) and the last room is the workshop. It is here that the soft (never deconstructed as the Neapolitan sometimes decrees, nor stiff in the British style) jackets, custom-tailored suits, coats (camel, Casentino, cashmere, etc.), trousers, formal wear and sport jackets are made for discriminating men.
Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

Very tastful presentation.
Thank you very much for posting this video.
I've read much about Maestro Seminara's skills and would one day commission a garment or two.
By the way, doesn't Sartoria Seminara make suits and coats for "Tie your tie?"
