Ravazzi Italian fedora's

[McCallCal]

I stumbled across an old Italian fedora recently, one that I have not had any luck in locating any information on. It's a Ravazzi. Anyone have any information on this brand? It looks to be pretty old, has a narrow brim (1.75") and 4" crown.

We have an Italian restaurant and takeaway not too far from where we live. The Italian proprietor wear a curious style hat, which I would love to know more about, but feel it's rude to ask. Does a Ravazzi look anything like this?

Yes it is quite similar. Don't be shy, my bet is that he'd be honored if you ask him about his hat. Most likely he is quite proud of it.
