A few weeks ago, we went to Vigevano to the Pietro Bertolini international shoe museum. We wanted to show you a panoramic vision of the evolution of the italian shoe industry that represents design, quality, elegance; all qualities well-known and appreciated abroad.
We start with a walk through the 1920’s passing right through to the 1960’s, without forgetting the first shoe designs with a high heel, and then pass onto the 1970’s wedges and plateauxs. We then move onto the 1980’s and all the careful elaboration of the shoe through taste, applique, jewels and personal creativity. All this is exclusively Made in Italy, with 100% style and prestige.
