A different kind of Florentine artistry
Why locals love it
Salvatore Ferragamo is a household name, but your average visitor doesn't automatically connect him with Florence. Then they're pleasantly surprised when they learn that the stunning Ferragamo location next to Ponte Santa Trinita is actually the flagship store. The museum (downstairs) sheds light on Florentine style’s importance on a global scale.
Why you should visit it
Ferragamo was called the “shoemaker to the stars,” fashioning footwear for major Hollywood icons. His magnificent creations will even convince cynics that shoes can be works of art. Temporary exhibitions here have highlighted specific Ferragamo clients, past collections and more.
Special tip
The museum is right at the end of Florence’s most exclusive style street, via Tornabuoni. Make time for window shopping when you leave the museum!
