EssilorLuxottica Sales Top Estimates Amid Smart Glasses Push

By and Flavia Rotondi Save EssilorLuxottica SA posted better-than-expected revenue in the second quarter, though profit at the world's biggest eyewear maker was held back by tariffs and its investments in smart glasses. Revenue rose 7.3% at constant exchange rates to €7.18 billion ($8.36 billion) in the period, according to a statement Monday. That beat analysts' estimates for a 5.9% rise, based on a Bloomberg-compiled consensus.

Rome's Next Big Tourist Draw Risks Going Bust Before It Opens

By and Flavia Rotondi Save The Aquarium of Rome wanted to open this year to show the millions of pilgrims and tourists flocking to the Italian capital that there's more on offer than ancient history and old churches. Instead, it's become a study in just how hard it is to deliver landmark building projects in modern times. Italian banks Intesa Sanpaolo SpA and UniCredit SpA still have a nominal interest in the struggling enterprise after being forced to write off 95% of their loan exposure to its owner in a previous restructuring. But talks to raise fresh cash from investors, including London-based distressed specialist Zetland Capital, have dragged on for years without conclusion, according to company filings seen by Bloomberg. That casts further doubt over the site's future.

Italy Cracks Down on Sweatshops Feeding Loro Piana, Armani, Dior

By , Flavia Rotondi, and Luca Casiraghi Save For a decade, a Chinese tailor toiled in a three-story building on the outskirts of Milan, working 13 hours a day making high-end garments for brands including Italian cashmere label Loro Piana. The unnamed worker was paid off-the-books, earning roughly €1,500 ($1,742) a month, according to legal documents seen by Bloomberg — about the price of one Loro Piana baby cashmere sweater. He became part of a hidden, underground labor force, employed by third parties, who craft luxury clothing for Italy's most renowned fashion houses.

LVMH's Loro Piana Faces Court Oversight in Italy Workplace Probe

By and Flavia Rotondi Save A Milan court placed Italian luxury label Loro Piana SpA under judicial oversight for one year, saying the LVMH -owned label famous for its cashmere clothing failed to stop subcontractors from exploiting migrant workers. In some Italian factories, working hours largely exceeded the 8-hour legal standard, employees slept on shop floors and were paid a fraction of Italy's legal minimum, prosecutors said, according to the ruling seen by Bloomberg News. The court also said that Loro Piana omitted due-diligence checks.
