On July 23, 2025, in the halls of the Museo del Tessuto in Prato, Lyria hosted “Trame di Valore: Perspectives on the Present between Sustainability, Ethics, and Culture”: an open and well-attended encounter that transformed a place symbolic of Prato’s identity into a space for dialogue between industry, institutions, and culture.
The event, part of the Lyria Talks series,
brought together diverse voices from the industrial and academic landscape — including Lucia Ballerini, Francesca Rulli, Cristiano Ferrini, Christian Bussu, Benedetta Cacialli,
and Rossella Micheli – to explore
the contemporary meaning
of responsibility: environmental, social,
and cultural.
During the seminar, Riccardo Bruni, founder of Lyria, shared a vision of enterprise that understands sustainability not as a certification, but as a daily practice. The recent Gender Equality Certification obtained by Lyria stands as concrete evidence of this approach: an achievement that reflects the company’s commitment to promoting inclusion, equity, and the recognition of talent within the organization and across the supply chain.
As recalled by Cristina Catani, CFO and member of Lyria’s Board of Directors, gender difference represents “a complementarity of ideas and visions, an enrichment that enables companies to innovate and to better understand the complexity of the present.”
The conversation expanded to include themes of transparency, traceability, and the use of organic and recycled fibers — pillars upon which Lyria builds its vision of a responsible enterprise.
Trame di Valore was also a moment to weave together knowledge and perspectives: an invitation to recognize textiles not merely as a production supply chain, but as a cultural language capable of generating shared value. Through the dialogue between sustainability, ethics, and culture, Lyria reaffirms its role as a Factory laboratory — a living organism that builds the future starting from thought and respect for matter. In a time when sustainability risks becoming a label, Lyria restores it to its original meaning: to take care. Of people, of relationships, of territory, of time. And within these trame di valore lies the company’s deepest identity: that of an enterprise that makes responsibility a form of value.
