Mannina Footwear Made to measure atelier detail florence

It was in his native Sicily that Calogero Mannina was introduced to the shoemaking trade – and a passion for the item – by his grandfather. Calogero is one of those artisans who never abandon their calling nor betray their trade. On the contrary, he transmitted his knowledge and love to his son Antonio who is in charge of the store on Via Guicciardini that displays the men's and women's shoes made in "Calogero's kingdom", the workshop just around the corner on Via de' Barbadori. Oxfords, moccasins, and ankle boots all made of fine leathers, (vegetable-tanned suedes, French calfskin, vacchetta, as well as crocodile, ostrich and lizard) that are finished with a mixture of aniline, alcohol and vegetable waxes, are just some of the more classic models the shop features.
