History

The history of the Franceschetti shoe factory began in the early decades of the 20th century when great-grandfather Adelio started producing classic men's shoes, personally working in the workshop beneath his house. At the time, the processes were entirely manual, and making two or three pairs of handcrafted shoes could take an entire day.

Even today, nearly a century after Adelio Franceschetti opened his small family workshop, the identity and values passed down remain unchanged. Meanwhile, Italy continued to grow, fueling creativity and taking the great step from tradition to innovation—a defining characteristic of "Made in Italy."

Over the years, the Franceschetti shoe factory has become a producer of increasingly sophisticated products, using complex finishes and advanced techniques in leather processing and tanning. The fourth generation, represented by Andrea and Stefania Franceschetti, gives further momentum to the brand's innovation while preserving the ancient language of tradition, which asserts itself in the contemporary context of men's fashion trends. The beauty and passion for a shoe born and developed exclusively in Le Marche, Italy, remain intact.

The new Franceschetti generation aims to make the brand increasingly global while preserving craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the pursuit of cutting-edge materials in terms of comfort and design. The new stylistic direction set by Andrea Franceschetti has garnered great success and attention from industry professionals worldwide.
