THE BRAND

One winter day in Milan, a young woman stopped in front of a shop window to look at a plastic Christmas tree. Hidden in that plastic, she saw a smiling cuddly toy. A toy that would soon become known as Topo Gigio.

That young woman, Maria Perego, was an artist. She went straight to work so that by 1959, Topo Gigio was born. He made his debut on the Italian Television Program High Fidelity, with the unmistakable voice of singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno, known worldwide for the song “Volare (Nel blu dipinto di blu)”.

The witty little mouse had immediate success, taking him from Italy to America and then around the world.

In the US Topo Gigio was a fixed guest of The Ed Sullivan Show for years, winning the hearts of many notable fans such as Louis Armstrong and Michael Jackson. One of the most notable characteristics of Topo Gigio is his ability to continually reinvent himself over the years, while always keeping his unique style that won the hearts of millions of children and grown-ups all around the word.

Topo Gigio has today 4,9M fans on Facebook and 345M views on YouTube
