Our history
It all started around the 60s in the Cadore Valley, a small mountain area of the Veneto Region well-known for its marvelous Dolomites full of ski resorts and trekking paths but also for the centuries-old tradition of eyeglasses production.
At that time Vittorio Del Favero was a young brave artisan deciding to bet everything on its skills and talents. In 1962 he choosed to start its own eyeglasses production named Evoluzione, located in Lozzo di Cadore right in the middle of the eyeglasses district of Belluno. That area was starting to be known all over Europe for its manufacture. At the beginning it only was a small atelier situated within his household, where everyone was working tireless and passionated in order to create high quality frames and glasses.
These were the times when eyeglasses were a status symbol and customers were becoming always more demanding.
These were the years when value eyewear was an established status symbol, and customers became increasingly demanding and sought after.
Time flies and by the 80s the family-run factory has grown very fast, Vittorio’s son Mauro joins the business and plans to expand to Europe. Thanks to some friends already working as salesmen he started traveling around Germany with its small sample case. Even if he didn’ know a single word of German he soon became confident with the job and well-known around the biggest opticians, gaining important contacts and developing his father’s small business.
In 2018 Mauro’s son Stefano joins the company adding a modern concept and creating innovative and high-quality eyeglasses, always looking for new products to reach also the most demanding contemporary customers.
Refined shapes, distinguishing styles, quality eyeglasses handcrafted with love for details, the care for customers and an accurate post-sale service are now the strong points of Evoluzione, making the business growing day by day and reaching nowadays the best opticians all over Italy and Europe.
