The company began life as Modo&Modo, a small Milanese publisher that, in 1997, brought the original notebook back to life and established the Moleskine® trademark. Moleskine Srl was listed on the Italian Stock Exchange in 2013. The brand was acquired and delisted by D’Ieteren at the end of 2016. Today, the Moleskine company has around 400 employees and a vast network of partners.

The Moleskine Foundation is a non-profit organization that believes access to creativity and quality education is the key to producing systemic social change.

The Foundation uses unconventional education to encourage marginalized youth to access creative skills — unlocking their potential and transforming their communities.

Further, it enables collaborative processes to generate spaces where criticality and imagination can occur through the development of a global platform of cultural and creative organizations operating in the field of creativity for social transformation.
