Enjoy a visit to Lucio Picone’s artisan workshop in the nearby Pieve a Nievole, where he crafts exquisite custommade shoes. The workshop and his creations are the culmination of a dream for Lucio: he began working for a shoe manufacturer aged just fifteen, but always wanted to make something unique. He works for a handful of customers, choosing designs, colours and finishes together, and makes every shoe by hand. Visiting his workshop means immersing yourself in Tuscany’s artisan shoe-making traditions.
