Museo Salvatore Ferragamo

It’s much more than a museum about Salvatore Ferragamo, it’s a complied gallery about the Palazzo Spini Feroni and its current and past tenants, their history, and its contribution to the city of Florence. Definitely worth your 7 euro. For all you fashionistas and shoe fanatics, the wood composites for the all celebrities, are quite fascinating to see. From Michael Jordan to Prince George, to Audrey Hepburn!

You cannot go to Firenze without stopping by Salvatore Ferragamo. And if you are a fashionista you must see the museum located in the lower level of their building in Piazza Strozzi.
The street level has wonderful displays of their current collection. Use this to compare what you see in the museum which will show you the art and mastery behind one of the most successful shoe and fashion brands in Italy.
Ferragamo is a big name in Firenze so it is well worth a visit to see how they represent the history of their company and the creations that are displayed.
Groups can view the exhibits but need to call in advance to notify the museum. I would happily be trapped in the Ferragamo museum or even their retail store because everything looks so beautiful with a great variety of colors and fabrics.
When I think of Italian shoes, one of the top names that come to mind is Ferragamo.

This museum is pretty small but it was interesting to learn the history of Ferragamo. He made so many shoes for the stars that I would’ve never known about. The sales lady we talked to was super informative and friendly. She even talked me into buying a pair of shoes but not by being pushy, just friendly. i ended up with a pair of Bridget Bardot shoes. I wanted the Marilyn Monroe ones but they didn’t fit right. Now I have a pair of shoes from Italy that cannot be purchased in the US. This is the most I have ever spent on shoes but at least I know they’re comfortable.

Their expositions are always incredible. I went last year in the one about Marylin and was wow! Also to learn more about this unique brand is special.

I never even thought about a museum for a clothing line but man this was pretty cool. The exhibit is in the basement of the Salvatore Ferragamo flagship store and is huge!
There’s a lot of vintage items in here and it’s laid out pretty nicely. I couldn’t imagine a museum that was doing a travelling exhibit could have set this up nicer than the store could without the class of course ;)
If you’re by here to shop I’d recommend putting some time aside just to check out the museum as it’s a pretty neat collection of all things past and all things glory for Ferragamo.

It’s Ferragamo people! Every shoe loving lady needs to see this amazing collection. From great Hollywood Icons to actual costumes, Ferragamo’s body of work is impressive and a true indulgence to see. It is a short visit, but well worth it for the shoegasim!
