A. TESTONI BOLOGNA                                                              YOUNG AMEDEO TESTONI OPENED HIS FIRST WORKSHOP IN 1929, AFTER HAVING LEARNT THE SECRETS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BOLOGNESE CRAFTSMEN. IN THE ‘50S, HE IMPROVED THE TRADITIONAL BOLOGNESE PRODUCTION TO FULFIL HIS DREAM OF CREATING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHOES IN THE WORLD.THE GREAT VARIETY OF LEATHERS USED THAT RANGES FROM CALFSKIN TO OSTRICH AND CROCODILE, CONSTITUTES A CONTINUOUS CHALLENGE AND COMMITMENT. IT IS NECESSARY TO SELECT THE BEST LEATHERS, TEST THEIR RESISTANCE AND FIND EXPERTS CAPABLE OF HAND-SEWING COMPLEX MATERIALS THAT EVEN THE MOST SOPHISTICATED MACHINES ARE UNABLE TO CUT.THE USE OF EXCLUSIVE HIDES, PRECIOUS MATERIALS AND HANDICRAFT TECHNIQUES MAKE THIS OBJECT VALUABLE, SOMETHING TO MAINTAIN AND PRESERVE WITH THE GREATEST CARE.
