Daniela Ghezzo

Exclusive footwear borne of tradition and talentDaniela Ghezzo started her apprenticeship aged 17, under the guide of Rolando Segalin, and continued while studying at the Venice Fine Arts Academy. At 24, she courageously decided to take over her master’s renowned atelier, which had opened in Calle dei Fuseri in 1932. Since then, she has devoted herself to the increasingly rare craftsmanship of footwear. Her artistic background played a major role in her production, both for aesthetic reasons and for her three-dimensional vision of the space, crucial to see and draw proportions in custom-made footwear. Daniela, now an internationally acclaimed shoemaker, handmakes bespoke shoes both for men and women: unique pairs that reflect her study of the feet, posture and personality of her customers, as well as trying to understand their personal taste, suggesting trends, predicting fashion and, most important, making pieces that last over time.
