"tells the professional rise of a myth of the fashion world, recognizing his genius" - IL GIORNALE
PLOT: Many people see something marvelous in the life of Salvatore Ferragamo: for some it is a miracle, for others a fairytale. In reality, Ferragamo’s life was the product of a combination of many different factors: character, determination, instinct, genius, imagination, curiosity and, last but not least, his incredible intuition. Born in 1898 in Bonito, Calabria, he made his first shoes for his sister’s First Communion. After a year’s apprenticeship in Naples’ best workshops, Salvatore decided to leave for the United States,. He worked in Los Angeles creating footwear for the stars of many silent movies and the majority of the celebrities of the day. Returning to Italy, he ended up in Florence where he set up a workshop, opened a store and started to shape his own brand, which would go on to become an empire in the fashion world of the time.
