About bontoni
It started in a basement. Guido Gazzani handcrafted custom shoes for local nobility and merchants in the Italian Marche region, which has been the centre of Italy's shoemaking tradition for centuries. That home workshop, "casa e bottega", has never disappeared.
Today, nine master craftsmen work in the Bontoni workshop. They patiently produce seven to nine pairs a day, no more, no less. Each pair is made entirely by hand, using the finest leathers and techniques passed down from generation to generation.
Bontoni is one of the last established family ateliers of its kind in all of Italy. A shoe you recognize without having to read the label.
