Founded in 1977 in Monte San Pietrangeli, the heart of Italy's Marche shoemaking region, Silvano Sassetti is a family-run company built on artisanal passion. After learning the craft as an apprentice, Silvano Sassetti established his own workshop, which has since grown into a respected international label managed by his sons, Andrea and Emanuele. The brand is renowned for its mastery of traditional construction methods, including Blake, Norwegian, and Goodyear welting. A key innovation is the company's patented Goodyear Flex construction, which gives typically rigid welted shoes immediate comfort and flexibility from the first wear.
