Museo Ferragamo

This guide to the Museo Ferragamo traces Salvatore Ferragamo, the shoemaker who once fitted Greta Garbo, Mary Pickford and Judy Garland with wooden forms carved to their exact feet, through the bankruptcy that followed the Great Depression and his difficult return to Florence. It follows him into the 1930s, when Italian trade sanctions cut off his supply of steel and leather and left him searching for any material left to work with.
