THE MARGY RULE

At the core of Altroverso’s values lies the Margy Rule, a testament not just to the brand’s commitment to gender equality but also a deeply personal homage by its founder. The rule is named after Margy, the founder’s mother, a fervent feminist who lived through the vibrant revolution of the 60s in Europe. Her spirit, her fight for equality, and her unwavering values left an indelible mark on her son, shaping him into the man he became and influencing the creation of Altroverso.

Margy: The Beacon of Inspiration

Margy was not just a mother; she was a beacon of strength, resilience, and empowerment. Living through an era of change, she championed the rights of women, advocating for their place in society, equal pay, and opportunities. Her stories of protests, of standing up against injustices, and of dreaming of a world where her son could see women as equals became the bedtime tales that shaped the founder’s worldview.

The Birth of the Margy Rule:

In her passing, Margy left behind not just memories but a legacy of values. To honor her and ensure that her beliefs lived on, the founder introduced the Margy Rule in Altroverso.

Core Principles of the Margy Rule:

  5. Member Awareness and Education: Altroverso’s members are not just informed about the Margy Rule but are also educated about its origins, ensuring that Margy’s legacy is known, respected, and carried forward.
