The Italian shoe brand was founded in the 1971, when Silvano Lattanzi, just 21 years old, decides to turn his innate passion for leather and male elegance into the dream of making the most beautiful and unique shoes in the world.
1971-1974 The young Silvano perfects his manual talent in the in the craftsman’s shops of the last Master Shoemakers of London, Paris and Milan. The precious technical and stylistic baggage achieved will allow him to continue the European tradition of the Handmade and of the Made-to- Measure that was going lost in the industrial boom.
1975 The first collections brings on a shock reaction: in those years men shoes were conceived only as black or brown, Silvano interprets with elegance provocative colors such as red, blue, yellow and green mixed and antiqued as in an impressionist painting.
