What is F.lli Giacometti?
F.lli Giacometti, short for Fratelli Giacometti, is a family shoemaker from the Veneto region of northern Italy, near the Dolomites and the Alps. It is run by brothers Luigino Giacometti, who leads the company and oversees quality control, and Roberto Giacometti, who handles patterns, lasts and assembly.
History
The craft began with the brothers' grandfather, who made shoes at home. The family workshop grew into a manufacturer that also produced shoes for luxury brands before launching its own label, and it is described as the only remaining men's shoe maker in its part of Veneto.
Products and positioning
The brand modernises traditional handmade techniques from Veneto, including the Norwegian construction once associated with farming and mountaineering footwear. Its lasts aim for a comfortable fit with a simple but elegant finish, and close ties with tanneries in Italy and abroad give it access to high quality leather.
