Casalino’s previous experience is a fundamental factor, again in the design sector: her career began inside Indesit Company with positions in sales and management, then shifting to Luxottica Group as Business Director of the Ray-Ban brand. These experiences were followed by a period as Global Retail Director for the Natuzzi group, focusing on development of the distribution network and the evolution of the business model.
