Founded in 1961 in the Italian province of Marche by Ulderico and Quinto Pistonezi, Principe di Bologna is a family-owned footwear and accessories brand rooted in traditional shoemaking. Originally starting as a small manufactory producing classic men's shoes, the brand has evolved under the second generation—Rocco and Eusebio Pistonezi—to offer comprehensive men's and women's collections. The brand's signature style balances quiet elegance with modern functionality, offering everything from hand-knitted mules and suede loafers to insulated après-ski boots and geometric leather shoppers.
