Santoni
Santoni is an Italian footwear house founded by Andrea Santoni in Corridonia in 1975. The original workshop combined hand shoemaking with a plan to industrialise production without losing material and finishing quality. Giuseppe Santoni entered leadership in 1991 and expanded the family company internationally, while hand colouring, leather work and double-buckle shoes remain central product references. Santoni is privately held and family-controlled. Its own store footprint, market estimates and retail sales through partners are therefore kept separate from audited revenue, and Giuseppe's current executive leadership is distinguished from Andrea's founding authorship.
