I have spent half the year in Bagni di Lucca since 2004 and I had no idea there is a thriving family business making shoes in the tiny village of Lugliano, one of the villages that make up Bagni di Lucca. Lugliano is directly above Ponte a Serraglio, where our apartment is.
I am delighted to discover that the Fiorina shoe making business has been around for 49 years. The Piacentini Brothers have been making artisanal shoes with passion and skill for almost 50 years. Their beautiful designs have been made with care and are sold in Italy, other countries in Europe, Japan and America.
Even though the business has grown, their focus is always on craftsmanship and quality, with everything made in Bagni di Lucca. I think this is wonderful.
Take a look of some of their creations.
Fiorina ship all over the world and they are also interested in finding agents. If you know anyone who might be interested please pass on their information.
Here is their website.
The family also has an excellent shop, also called Fiorina, in Bagni di Lucca Villa. It is in Via Umberto I, 79.
I think Bagni di Lucca is lucky to have talented people running a successful family business.
