Today it is Enrico and Paolo Barni, Luciano’s grandsons, who carry on with pride and passion a reality that has conquered the market over the years.

The secret of Calzoleria Italiana’s success starts with the constant passion that has always distinguished this company, but also the ability to keep up with the times by trying to meet trends and attitudes even if the classic imprint remains.

Each shoe is born from a heritage of craftsmanship techniques that combine quality and unique design to give the wearer elegance and personality.

All processes from drawing to pattern making to sample making to store release are steps strictly followed in-house.

The collection of Calzoleria Toscana

Tuscan shoemaking e Rosso Fiorentino represent the two main lines

From classic to trendy , from sneakers to the finest crocodile models Calzoleria Toscana has an eclectic offering.

The company’s true signature is the original technique of garment-dyed, a process in which shoes are soaked in a drum (a large washing machine) for eight hours, washed and dyed with natural pigments, and then left to rest for two days. The result is a leather with rich, muted colors, reminiscent of old-world elegance, but with a softness and comfort that lasts.
