CELEBRITY FIGHT NIGHT
STEFANO RICCI and Antico Setificio Fiorentino have supported “Celebrity Fight Night”, the philanthropic project promoted by the Andrea Bocelli Foundation and Muhammad Alì Parkinson Center, since 2014. The initiative is the result of the close ties between the Ricci family and the Bocelli family, and which has led to tenor Andrea Bocelli donning the garments made by the Florentina fashion house in his international concerts and events.
