It was in 1990, when Andrea started up in the company, that the “Maison” presented its comfortable casual line called “Andrea by Artioli”, a shoe that would fit almost as if it were made to size, because it was tubular and like a glove would adapt and conform to the foot wearing it.
That same year the new line “Years 2000” was launched, an extremely innovational technical revelation based on much research, study and experimentation , introducing the systems “One shoe two fittings” and “Dry feet every day”, which allow a double fit and ensure fresh feet even in hot weather. Now the Artiolis are preparing to present once again their women’s footwear, relying on their great experience in producing men’s shoes and providing the chance for Severino to truly return to the past, for he had started his career making shoes for the ladies in Ferrara.
