I inherited my passion for this craft from my father, who started working in the field as a child.
After earning a degree in language mediation, I realized I wasn’t interested in sales, I enjoyed understanding the needs of dancers or historical reenactment enthusiasts and turning them into designs, lines, shapes, and volumes. That’s when I enrolled in pattern-making courses at the footwear school in the Riviera del Brenta, and I started proposing my first ideas within the family business.
What excites me most is seeing how an idea becomes something real and beautiful. And most of all, discovering how that idea becomes reality thanks to skilled hands—mine and those of others like me, each with their own personality and experience. For me, handcrafted footwear is magic.
