Shoe Museum<br />
Museo della Calzatura<br />
The ‘’Pietro Bertolini” Shoe Museum in <strong>Vigevano</strong> is the only public museum in Italy dedicated<br />
to the history and evolution of shoes. Situated in the suggestive, fifteenth-century setting of the<br />
Sforzesco Castle, the museum sets out to express, through its narration of the shoe, both the<br />
history and economy of <strong>Vigevano</strong> and the international evolution of the shoe as a design and<br />
fashion object. The museum is divided into 4 sections: historic, ethnic, modern and interesting facts.<br />
<strong>Vigevano</strong> is famous throughout the world for its shoe-making tradition, an ancient trade<br />
documented in the Borough Statute dating back to 1392.
