After gaining a brief formative experience in the commercial department, an experience which she was able to carry out both in Italy and in the US, she gradually focused with ever-increasing energy to the creative process, the very soul of the high craftsmanship production that characterizes the Solomeo-based company.

Consistent with her propensity to ideation and creativity, she joined the Style Department of the family company. Over the years, by virtue of her idea of sporty chic, she contributed significantly to curate several Brunello Cucinelli collections, but also to propose new designs of fine taste and innovative lines both for clothes and accessories. 

Her deep knowledge of the company's reality and the development of handcrafted products allowed her to participate in the organization of the various activities, especially related to the creation of the Women's collections, which she also constantly monitored in relation to the evolution of contemporary taste.

She is member of the Council for Human Sustainability and Humanistic Capitalism, headed by the founder of the Solomeo-based company and aimed at preserving and cultivating the essential ethical values that inspire the model of life and work promoted by the Solomeo-based company.

In parallel with her work at the company, together with her sister Carolina, she actively participates in the cultural programming activities of the Brunello and Federica Cucinelli Foundation in Solomeo, with a particular focus on the social promotion of the area.

In this sense, it is her passion for literature and the arts that supports her in following all those initiatives to which the family Foundation gives life, with the aim of promoting the different expressions of creativity and specifically to encourage young talent.

Born in Perugia on 23 February 1991, Carolina is the second-born child of Federica and Brunello Cucinelli. After graduating from high school with an artistic diploma in Fashion and Costume - a qualification that enabled her to learn about cutting, tailoring and fabric printing - she grew increasingly passionate about studying subjects related to the creation of garments.

After attending a number of advanced courses in the artistic field, in 2010 she started her professional career within the family company, Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A., first as an assistant in the Women’s Design Department and later as Head of the Accessories Division.

Together with her sister Camilla, she played an active role in the social and cultural promotion of the local area for the Brunello and Federica Cucinelli Foundation in Solomeo, as well as for projects of national interest, and was directly involved in the ‘Human Artisans of the Web’ internet project. Here, the focus was on creating the e-commerce platform (online boutique) and getting it online, along with a major overhaul of the company’s official website. Now, while continuing to oversee communication projects, she is also involved in the company’s commercial strategy, keeping a closer eye on the company’s wholesale and retail development.

In 2021, she made a significant contribution to the development of a fundamental alliance between the Brunello Cucinelli brand and Oliver Peoples, the historic eyewear label founded in Los Angeles in the heart of West Hollywood.

She also played an active part in the renovation project of the hamlet of Solomeo, where the company is based.

Together with her family, she set up an artistic and cultural program aimed at strengthening the sense of community, hosting international performances in the theatre in Solomeo and organizing open-air cinema during the summer months in the Foro delle Arti.

Just two years later, she devoted herself to the creation and production of her first ready-to-wear collection under the brand name ‘LE MANFREDI’, distributed throughout Italy and produced entirely in Umbria. It was here that she met Brunello Cucinelli, with whom she began an operational and corporate partnership in 1992, changing the brand name to GUNEX and specializing in the creation and production of high-quality skirts and trousers, with which she gained an international reputation over time.

In the following 20 years, she designed and developed the ‘GUNEX’-branded collections in close collaboration with the Brunello Cucinelli cashmere design department, with the explicit intention of coordinating the image of the two lines proposed in terms of stylistic and distribution synergy, aimed at establishing a precise, recognizable Group identity. In 2011, following the merger of Gunex into Brunello Cucinelli S.p.A., she joined the design team of the ‘BRUNELLO CUCINELLI’ brand, sharing responsibility for the creative development of the women’s and children’s collections and directing the team of designers, pattern-makers and seamstresses at the Rome office.
