Acqua di Parma CEO: Giulio Bergamaschi – Elegance, Craftsmanship, & Language of Heritage

The Gstaad Guy sits down with Giulio Bergamaschi, CEO of Acqua di Parma, to explore what it means to steward a brand defined by craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless elegance. With a career shaped by humility and discernment, Giulio brings the perspective of a connoisseur, balancing modern relevance with the responsibility of carrying forward one of Italy’s most iconic maisons. The conversation delves into the influence of family values on leadership, the art of cultivating connoisseurship in a world of speed, and how true timelessness is created through care, detail, and respect for tradition. Giulio reflects on elegance not as a surface quality but as a philosophy of life, and shares how heritage can remain alive and relevant while shaping the future of luxury.
