Do we know anything about that brand? I have seen that name used in other hats that, I believe, were made in Eastern Europe where the seller wants the buyer to believe the hat is actually Italian. That looks like the real deal though.

This is what i know, Daniele once posted this:

C. Albertini & C., Intra, exhibited numerous fine fur-trimmed felt hats for men. The company, founded in 1817, specializes in the manufacture of very fine men's hats and felt for hatmaking. It was the first factory to introduce the mechanical manufacturing system to Italy."

And i know it was situated nearby the Panizza factory at Lake Maggiore. So as far as i know it's an original Italian brand.

I don't know how old this hat of mine is actually, but i think it's a younger one!

An example of my previous comment, for the record.

That looks completely different indeed. I don't know if that's a real Albertini.

Oh, I know it's not! I believe it was made in Hungary in a factory called Sunemar.
