Reviews
Without a doubt, [this book] offers the reader an education in the art of shoemaking. . . The visuals are beautiful and help the reader to quite literally understand the text without any further explanation; the photos expose the reader to the particular attributes and features of a Moreschi shoe. . . The Italian Art of Shoemaking: Works of Art in Leather is entertaining as well as informative. Recommended."
-NY JOURNAL OF BOOKS
"If you're interested in a deep dive into the culture of one of the world's most distinguished shoemakers, consider The Italian Art of Shoemaking: Works of Art in Leather. It takes readers inside the world of Moreschi shoes, which have long been recognized for their craftsmanship and unique style. . while the brand has designs on the future, including a more recently developed women's line, this volume is a remarkable exploration of the history that made them an institution."
