    Breton S.p.A. is an Italian privately held company established in 1963. The company produces machines and plants for engineered stone and metalworking. Machines and plants by Breton can be used in diverse sectors such as die-making, aerospace, automotive, racing cars, energy, gears, general mechanics, stone processing and kitchen top manufacturing.

    History

    Breton was established in 1963 in Castello di Godego, Italy, by Marcello Toncelli, who started developing new technologies and manufacturing industrial plants for producing engineered stone. Marcello Toncelli invented the Bretonstone technology, also known as vibrocompression under vacuum, a patented technology which is used today by most engineered stone manufacturers. Around the mid 1990s the company decided to enter also into the machine tool market, manufacturing machining centres for the mechanical industry.

    In 2003 Marcello Toncelli, Breton's founder, died, and the control of the company passed to his sons Luca and Dario Toncelli, who since then have been running the company together with the founder's long-time partner, Roberto Chiavacci, Vice President of the Board of Directors.

    Breton (hat)

    A Breton (or Bretonne) is a woman's hat with a round crown and a deep brim that is turned upwards all the way round, exposing the face. Sometimes the hat has a domed crown. Typically it is worn tilted to the back of the head.

    The style first appeared under this name in the 19th century and was generally made of lightweight and malleable material such as straw or felt. It is said to derive from the straw hats traditionally worn by Breton agricultural workers. It is not to be confused with the Breton cap, a fabric cap with a peak at the front associated with fishermen.

    1960s popularity

    The Breton had a revival of popularity in the 1960s, with high-profile wearers helping to make it fashionable. During this era it also appeared in more extreme styles, with oversized turned-back brims. After British model Jean Shrimpton caused a scandal at the Melbourne Cup Carnival in Australia in 1965 by attending Derby Day hatless, bare legged and in a short summer frock, she returned three days later to the Melbourne Cup in a sober tailored suit with a large ice-blue straw Breton hastily created by local milliner Adele Chapeaux of South Yarra. In 1968, a neat straw version was worn right on the back of the head by Mia Farrow in the horror film Rosemary's Baby.
