Fiorentina

Silvia (1926). Italian-American shoe designer, born in New York. Sometime in the 1950s, thinking about her passion for shoes, she decided to design a collection for American women but with Italian taste. Success was almost immediate, specifically in 1957, when she opened her first boutique at 789 Madison Avenue. Still manufactured at plants in Vigevano and Bologna, her shoes are today on sale in the most exclusive American department stores, including Bergdorf Goodman.
