Santoni is much more than a luxury footwear brand: it is a true expression of Made in Italy, deeply rooted in Italian artisanal culture and in the ongoing pursuit of beauty. Founded in 1975 by Andrea Santoni in Corridonia, in the Marche region, the company has managed to transform a small family workshop into an internationally recognized brand, all while preserving its strong connection to its territory and original values.
Santoni Is: The Authentic Soul of Made in Italy
The "Santoni Is" project narrates the company's deep identity: a human enterprise before an industrial one, bringing together over 700 artisans united by shared values of quality, authenticity, passion, and respect for tradition. At Santoni, Made in Italy is not merely a guarantee of origin, but a true way of living and working. Every creation stems from a deep dialogue with the Marche territory, drawing inspiration to innovate without ever losing touch with its roots.
Through a tailor-made approach to production, Santoni celebrates beauty not only as an aesthetic ideal but as a cultural and ethical responsibility. Every shoe tells a story of care, expertise, and craftsmanship, becoming a symbol of authentic Italian luxury.
The Academy of Excellence: Shaping the Artisans of Tomorrow
With the goal of preserving and passing down its cultural heritage, Santoni established the Academy of Excellence. Launched in 2023, this unique school is dedicated to young people eager to learn the art of luxury footwear Made in Italy.
The four-week training program combines theoretical lessons with practical workshops, allowing students to learn directly from the "Masters of Beauty," Santoni’s most experienced artisans. At the end of the course, participants receive the Apprentice of Beauty Diploma and have the opportunity to begin a professional journey within the company.
The Academy stands as a testament to Santoni’s commitment to promoting the sustainability of artisanal knowledge, ensuring that Italian craftsmanship continues to thrive for future generations.
Innovation, Sustainability, and a Global Vision
Alongside the preservation of tradition, Santoni continuously invests in innovation and sustainability. The company adopts eco-friendly practices and cutting-edge technologies, using renewable energy and low-impact materials, with the goal of offering products that symbolize quality as well as respect for the environment.
Santoni’s vision is clear: to bring the best of Italian craftsmanship to the world, continuing to evolve without ever betraying the authenticity that has always distinguished the brand.
