today, there are several businesses going by the name "caraceni" in operation. the original shop operates out of a small location in rome with a very small workforce. this is run by tommy and giulio caraceni, nephews of domenico. there are three branches in milan, all founded by offshoots of the clan, one even claiming to be the "real caraceni." however, the cognoscenti consider a. caraceni, currently operated by mario caraceni (son of augusto) to be the best of the milan branches. these suits are what is known as "bench bespoke," meaning they are made one at a time, by hand, to a pattern specifically drawn for each individual customer.
