Ferrino: A Legacy of Italian Craftsmanship Since 1870

The story of the Italian brand Ferrino began in Turin in 1870, when Cesare Ferrino filed a patent for waterproof textiles. He started manufacturing tents and waterproof covers that became famous across Italy within just a few years.

A Century of Innovation

1890: Ferrino began a long-standing partnership with FIAT, providing the very first waterproof tarpaulins for automobiles.
Early 1900s: As high peaks began to lure the first mountaineers, Ferrino rose to the challenge of developing ultra-durable, weather-resistant materials. By the 1930s and 40s, Ferrino tents had become the trusted shelter for high-altitude pioneers.
1960s: The brand experienced a massive boom with the rise of the "on the road" lifestyle, where tents became a symbol of independence for a new generation.
The Messner Connection

A pivotal collaboration with the world-renowned mountaineer Reinhold Messner led to the development of the first dome-shaped tent and sparked a revolution in outdoor gear evolution. This partnership cemented Ferrino’s position as a prestigious manufacturer of high-alpine equipment. Over the decades, Ferrino products have been part of the eternal human desire to conquer the impossible and discover the unknown.
