The history of the brand’s creation dates back to the first decades of the twentieth century, in Montegranaro, in the Marche region after the First World War. Adelio Franceschetti, grandfather of the current owners of the Franceschetti shoe factory, began producing men’s shoes entirely by hand in a basement shop. Two sons – Hannibal and Ugo worked with him to create each pair, and after his death in 1957, they continued this activity. In 1965, the factory opened in the place where it is located today. And already in the 80s, the factory passed to the third generation of owners and its name changed to Calzaturificio Franceschetti Srl.
The brand’s popularity is growing not only in Italy, and Franceschetti shoes are actively exported to many countries: Austria, Germany, Japan, Belgium, etc.
Today, the Franceschetti factory has remained true to tradition and created a unique model range. Now the brand is popular in Germany, Russia, Italy, Hong Kong, Austria, France, the USA, Turkey and Japan.
The key to success has always been a wide range of models, always made of genuine leather, Blake rapid technology (double seam processing). The features of Franceschetti shoe manufacturing are exclusively hand-painted leather and milling. The brand’s craftsmen pay attention to every detail and work to bring the pair to perfection.
During production, each pair of shoes goes through up to 200 different stages. The entire process, from design to packaging, takes about two months and is divided into a number of closely related “steps”. And the end result is an incredibly high-quality, comfortable and stylish pair of men’s shoes.
Today the company works with several brands.
Franceschetti is primarily a family business with exquisite taste and Italian lines. It is a combination of design and craftsmanship, created in Italy.
Podium offers a wide range of Franceschetti shoes. The best pairs made of soft calf, horse and kangaroo leather promise to please their owner and serve faithfully for more than one season. Derbies, oxfords, monks, as well as sneakers and trainers are at your service. Each pair was worked on by masters and connoisseurs of shoe art. Our consultants will always help you make the right choice and select the right pair.
