Le Gallinelle as a brand’s name comes from the fact its first shop was in a poulterer's shop. 20 years later, Abito was the name chosen for its second store because it was considered a ‘home’ — in Italian, this word means both ‘to live’ and ‘clothing’. So what came first? the egg or the chicken? Since Le Gallinelle (the chicken) originated Abito (I live).
