The history of Inglesina began in a
curious, original way. Everything started with the passion of the
company's founder, Liviano Tomasi, for four wheels and mechanics
in general. However, young Tomasi was originally interested in
go-karts and in fact he dedicated himself to the tuning up and
setting of karts for racing. But it was a short step from engines
to babies - first through the production of tricycles - especially
with the encouragement of a woman: his wife, Bruna.
So, in December 1963, at first
accompanied by his brothers Augusto and Sergio, Liviano Tomasi
embarked on what was to prove a far-sighted and courageous
business venture: he created L'Inglesina Baby and, with it, the
production of the first English-style prams - including the
historic "London" - which even today represents one of
the inspirations for the unmistakable Inglesina style.
The company experienced constant and
rapid growth, linked to the visibility the brand gained on the
Italian market. For a decade, L'Inglesina Baby's production
remained centred on English-style prams but as early as the 1970s
it introduced a revolutionary stroller: the "Apollo"
(whose name pays homage to the new era of space travel). In the
1980s, and the whole next decade, the company developed a presence
in other international markets as well, expanding its product line
with articles such as baby seats, car seats and baby slings.
Today L'Inglesina Baby is one of the
leading companies on the international scene, specializing in the
early infancy sector and a recognized interpreter of the
"Made in Italy" style, elegance and quality, serving as
its ambassador to more than thirty countries around the world for
more than forty years.
