The story

Founded by Sandro Veronesi in 1986, in Oppeano.1

The company was established in Vallese di Oppeano (province of Verona) in 1986 and officially launched in 1987. Its founder, Sandro Veronesi, originally from Brentino Belluno, previously worked for Golden Lady, an Italian hosiery company founded by Nerino Grassi, whose daughter he later married. Veronesi holds a degree in economics and commerce from the University of Verona. As of 2025, he was listed by Forbes among the world's billionaires with an estimated net worth of $1.8 billion.

Initially, the company adopted a franchise-based model, enabling rapid expansion both in Italy and internationally. By 2009, according to Mediobanca, it was one of the few Italian groups to surpass €1 billion in revenue. In 2016, revenue exceeded €2 billion. In 2017, the group reported revenues of €2.314 billion with an EBITDA of €489 million, while in 2018, revenue slightly decreased to €2.3 billion, with EBITDA at €478 million.

On December 4, 2023, the group officially changed its name from Calzedonia Group to Oniverse.
