Originally founded in Florence in 1988, D'Acquasparta gained recognition for its quality footwear, paying homage to Italian history through its name, a reference to a historical cardinal, Matteo D'Acquasparta. The brand became known for its sneakers, which were popular among sports figures and politicians in Italy. After a period of quiet, the brand was acquired in 2022 by CEO Elena Mercantini and investor Fedele Gubitosi, who initiated a significant relaunch under the shortened name, Acquasparta. The brand was reborn with a renewed focus on "silent luxury" and high-end craftsmanship.
