Story

The "MANOVIA" is the shoe production line, I mean the old style one, not the modern electrified and managed by computers.

“Mano” means “Hand”: it is in fact a production line where shoe trolleys are still moved by hand , the hands of factory workers.

I am very familiar with such a MANOVIA as I spent most of time in the shoe factories during the last 40 years, same as many of my best friends.

I founded "Manovie Toscane" with my son with the purpose of creating and producing shoe collections totally Made in Tuscany.

We have the great opportunity to live in such a fantastic place where you can easily find leathers, soles and all components necessary to the shoe production.

We started creating shoe lasts , patterns and ideas which simply express our taste, giving space to inputs we get from our frequent travelling around the world.

The first collection show at PITTI UOMO FLORENCE was a success and we decided to move forward by showing our project in Paris , Tokyo and Milan. The olive tree is a symbol of our place, Tuscany, so we decided It will be part of our logo in the future.
