Friedrichshafen 2003:
Celebration of the 75° Anniversary of La Sportiva



On Saturday, July 26, starting at 5 P.M., in the La Sportiva booth, in the Friedrichshafen Outdoor exhibition 2003, the party has taken place, to celebrate the 75° Anniversary of the Company of Trento.
Great success for the Happy Hour, with La Sportiva staff, dealers, distributors, athletes and friends coming together for a big party, to celebrate an important period of the history of Italian sport shoe manufacturing. La Sportiva becomes 75 years old and it does it with its style, simple and effective. Music, good wine and convivial atmosphere made very pleasant the climate of the event, which has been unanimously appreciated. A party visited by hundreds of people, who came in homage to La Sportiva name, and for what it represents on the market: a company with human dimensions, renowned for the art of producing great quality shoes.
75 years of history, three generations of the Delladio family, ever since leading the brand in Val di Fiemme. 75 years of people and ideas, effort and sweat, competence and spirit of challenge, respect for the environment and the ones who live in it.
All this supported and controlled by the most prestigious certifications, like UNI EN ISO 9002, obtained in 1997 and completed during 2003, first shoe manufacturer in the world, with the achievement of the integrated certification UNI EN ISO 9001, for the quality system, and UNI EN ISO 14001, for the environmental management system.
A convivial moment full of fun, in the name of memory and as homage to our President Francesco Delladio, almost the same age of the company, founded by his father Narciso when he was only one year old. Francesco Delladio today celebrates a life of work and these images fix the memory of it, and help to share it with the people who have contributed to the development of the Company and with our customers, scattered all over the planet.
