An Original Poem Written & Dedicated to Our Italian Artisans

Generational artisanship, the Italian shoemaker’s task

Creating beautiful shoes, inspired by the past

Slipping on your feet like a glove

A lasting reminder of the culture they love

 

From Florence to Sicily and further still

The artisan’s skill is a marvel to fill

Fitting to the shape of each individual foot

Through a lifetime of skill, no mistakes to refute

 

The upper calf, the stroke of beveled leather

Forming the toe of the heel, together

Each stitch and piece, has meaning inherent

Infused with life, there’s beauty inherent

 

From the cobblers of old, a skill that’s divine

Transcending time, the skill of design

Generational mastery, the mark of their craft

The appreciation of it, will everlast
