About Carlo Benetton
https://www.thelocal.it/20180710/carlo-benetton-united-colours-foun...
Carlo Benetton, the youngest of the siblings behind the famed United Colors of Benetton brand, has died aged 74, the company said on Tuesday.
Benetton, a father of four, died in his home in the northern Italian city of Treviso.
With his brothers Luciano and Gilberto and his sister Giuliana, Carlo Benetton founded United Colors of Benetton in 1965 in Ponzano Veneto, a village in Italy's north-east.
Their signature soft wool jumpers made in a variety of colours quickly seduced the masses. The company went from strength to strength especially between 1982 and 2000 – its fame fuelled by daring ad campaigns by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani, such as a 1989 poster which featured a black woman breastfeeding a white baby.
