Cressi’s legacy of innovation began in 1939 with two brothers who shared
a passion for the sea and a gift for technical design and working with
their hands. Egidio and Nanni Cressi began by crafting masks and
spearguns that would allow them to move and hunt more efficiently in the
waters near their home. By 1946 their designs and products had become
so popular they founded the Cressi company in Genoa, Italy.
