Museo Salvatore Ferragamo


The splendid 13th-century Palazzo Spini-Feroni has been home to the Ferragamo fashion empire since 1938. Anyone with even the faintest tendency towards shoe addiction or an interest in the socio-historical context of fashion will enjoy the themed exhibitions held in the small basement museum. One permanent room displays a selection of original Ferragamo shoes from the 1920s and 1930s.
