Salvatore Ferragamo
Salvatore Ferragamo was born in 1898 in Bonito, a village about 100 kilometres from Naples, the eleventh of fourteen children. Since he was a little child, Salvatore dreamed of being a shoemaker. He would spend hours watching the local cobbler at work, although his father did not approve as shoemaking was considered the humblest of trades.
