Here is some more information about the history of shoemaking from their website link above: "The tradition of handcrafted footwear has its origins in the Marche region, in small villages inhabited by artists and manufacturers. Montegranaro is a small town on the hills of the Marche region, famous for the production of magnificent shoes completely handmade since ‘300.
It is the story of a small rural reality that in the early nineteenth century is transformed into the fulcrum of the craft production of footwear. It all started with the “chiochiera”, a kind of fabric slipper with a leather sole, an Italian version of the slippers that spread from the Papal States to the Kingdom of Naples.
In the twentieth century more and more young people left the countryside to work in the workshop in Montegranaro, where the first shoe industries began to spring up. The creations were exported all over the world, spreading the love of the craftsmen of a small village in the Marche region.
The binomial shoes Montegranaro is an inseparable bond that you can breathe in every store, family and corner of the territory. The production area of the Fermo area represents today the largest consortium of handcrafted men’s and women’s shoes in Italy. A love that began in the laboratories of the fourteenth century and continues until today, becoming an international symbol of quality and elegance."

I agree! I was amazed at how many people were involved in the process and how much work went into one pair of shoes.

[@808music3]

Handmade shoes are the best.😊

[@alookbehindtheseams]

I agree! The one constant we heard from the Italian artisans we visited is that there is a lack of workers and interest from the younger generation to keep these traditions alive. Why do you think that is?
