About Barbara Benetton

Barbara Benetton is one of two daughters of Gilberto Benetton, who founded the Benetton Group in 1965 with siblings Carlo, Gilberto and Giuliana.

In 2018, with the death of their father, Barbara and her sister Sabrina each inherited part of his fortune; Barbara is not involved in the business.

The Benetton family started knitting and selling colorful sweaters from their home in Treviso, Italy and opened their first store abroad in 1969.

The four siblings later diversified their portfolio, and now own investments in infrastructure, catering, and financial firms.

Each of their families owns a quarter of the main holding, Edizione. Currently, the second generation has taken over its board of directors.
