Men Italian shoes are a sign of class and tradition.
If you are looking for a real Italian shoemaker here is one the best:Doriano Marcucci. He started when he was 19 under the "school" of and old master, Basilio Testella (now in his 80s). He only makes 2 pair of shoes in 2 days and he works completely alone, 10 hours a day.His workshop looks more like a museum since he uses old tools he managed to buy over the years.
Here is another selection of what Italy can offer you.This company is present worldwide with many offices.

Michele del Campo, "Consolation", oil on Canvas, 2009
DIVINA COMMEDIA - INFERNO
| 1 | Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita |
| 2 | mi ritrovai per una selva oscura |
| 3 | ché la diritta via era smarrita. |
| 4 | Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura |
| 5 | esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte |
| 6 | che nel pensier rinova la paura! |
| 7 | Tant'è amara che poco è più morte; |
| 8 | ma per trattar del ben ch'i' vi trovai, |
| 9 | dirò de l'altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte. |
