Since its founding in 1975, Santoni's vision has been to channel the rich cultural heritage of Italian crafts and creativity. At first, the workshop was headed by Andrea Santoni, who specializes in the finest luxury footwear. Today, his son Giuseppe continues in his name and has raised the brand to the status of a global icon.

Over time, the key points of Italian production, such as top quality, handwork and top details, have remained extremely intact. These features continue to characterize Santoni even today and contribute to its leading status among the most desirable luxury brands in the world.
