Company

In the 1990s, a passion became a vision.

Maurizio Castellani, with a background as a product manager in women’s fashion, discovered clay shooting and immediately fell in love with the sport. From that moment, a simple yet revolutionary idea took shape: applying sartorial expertise to technical sportswear for shooters.

“I will create shooting vests that are not only comfortable, but also beautiful.” This is how the Castellani brand was born.

The first vests quickly gained attention: functional, refined in every detail, and unlike anything the shooting world had seen before. To introduce them directly to athletes, Castellani brought the products to international shooting events, listening to shooters, gathering feedback, and constantly refining each garment.

Over time, the collection expanded to include technical apparel, accessories, and leisurewear. Every Castellani product is guided by a clear philosophy: combining performance and style, with deep sartorial attention to fit and detail.

In 2012, Andrea Fava—Maurizio Castellani’s nephew—joined the company. A natural transition: Maurizio had known him since childhood, believed in his potential, and gave him space to bring fresh ideas and a new vision. Together, they developed the London shooting collection, which achieved outstanding technical and sporting results: at the Olympic Games, 10 out of 15 medal-winning athletes wore Castellani. A landmark achievement that marked a turning point for the brand.

At the same time, the company launched a continuous improvement process in production, and in 2014 introduced its dedicated e-commerce platform, opening Castellani to a direct global market.

From 2025, Andrea Fava takes the baton from his uncle Maurizio and assumes the role of CEO, ready to face new challenges with the same passion that drives every Castellani shooter—always at the heart of every decision.

The Value of Made in Italy

For Castellani, Made in Italy is more than a label. It is a commitment to quality, research, and respect for craftsmanship. Every vest is the result of experience, precision, and passion, rooted in Italian textile excellence.

Materials are carefully selected, and technical solutions are developed to ensure comfort, precision, and durability. Close collaboration with professional athletes, coaches, and enthusiasts allows Castellani to transform real feedback into products designed for those who live clay shooting at every level.
