A guided tour of Ferragamo Museum in Florence, the reign of Salvatore Ferragamo, the “shoemaker of dreams” as he liked to call himself, to discover its history starting from its humble origins up to international fame and admire the evolution of his style and techniques in making some of the most fashionable and comfortable shoes in the world.
A splendid medieval palace in the historic center of Florence called Palazzo Spini Feroni hosts a very interesting museum dedicated to Salvatore Ferragamo, craftsman and luxury artist.
The Ferragamo museum setting-up tells us about his story and business, starting from the origins as a simple shoemaker in a small town in southern Italy to the years of glory in America working for Hollywood stars until his return to Italy, in Florence, where he consolidated his empire.
Ferragamo shoes displayed here embody a representation of different stages of his life and work as a result of the studies and discoveries he made during his stay in America combined with the excellent craftsmanship techniques he learned in Italy.
Furthermore, Ferragamo museum is not only a shoe museum but every year its rooms also host thematic exhibitions where the craftsman’s creations are combined with other artistic dimensions such as painting, history, design and much more.
Thanks to this guided tour at Ferragamo Museum you will discover the life of an artist craftsman who revolutionized the world of footwear and fashion in general, making his shoes real works of art.
Take a look also at the Florence high fashion and craft tour to visit other fashion museums, such as Gucci Museum and the Costume Gallery, or historical Florentine artisan shops.
