Valerio Monteleone Email and Phone Number

I am the manager of the Research and Development department of Nuova Cosmatex S.R.L. I sell internationally and I deal with customers issues. I also help the Marketing and Communication office, collaborating in the realisation of the company's website and its editing.

Following my Undergraduate Dissertation concerning textile's natural dyeing as a source of income, I was able to export my idea to India. During this 5 months internship I realised a project regarding building a natural dye-house. This project was created to include the community and engage young generations into a new ethical way of dyeing. Thanks to EduCARE India NGO I was able to get involved with Naddi's inhabitants and learn Indian culture.

In 2015 I undertook an internship experience at Drago SPA company for four months. There I was able to truly prove myself and gain practical skills. My role at Drago was to control the quality of fabrics and yards and I was in charge to deal with customers’ requirements and issues with the products. My experience as an intern was fundamental at Drago as I was also able to follow my very own project, which resulted in my masters dissertation’s topic: the difference between worsted and woollen spinning from a quality point of view.

At Emernegildo Zegna Group I improved my skills in textile design by studying the previous autunm/winter collection. During this intership I was also in charge of the historical archive.
