Santoni Meraviglia (Tapa dura)

Penned by celebrated fashion journalist Luke Leicht, Santoni Meraviglia is the story of a family-owned luxury shoe

brand unlike any other, Santoni?hence the title, which translates to "wonder.

" Marveling is what readers will be

doing throughout these pages as they get an insider download on one of Italy's most coveted accessory houses,

with fans including George Clooney, Beyoncé, Eddie Redmayne, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Fittingly, as Santoni is known

for its unparalleled craftsmanship, the book takes a photographic tour of its manufacturing center and the work

done by its artisans (Santoni has its own academy to create maestros), with vivid visuals of the painstaking steps

that go into making each pair of shoes, including the brand's specialty, the Renaissance-era velatura painting

technique. You can't miss the signature orange color, often appearing on the soles as bright as sunsets.
