The Company was founded in 1960 by Alberto Fermani, an entrepreneur inspired by the passion for the manufacturing of handmade shoes, bringing the centuries-old tradition unique in the world back to life: the Italian artisan shop. The Firm is located in Petriolo, a small town belonging to the province of Macerata, in the Marches.
In addition, AF celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010.
Alberto Fermani’s flair and dedication turned the firm from a little artisan workshop into a big-sized shoe brand company, whose products are sold all over the world.
Over the years, Alberto Fermani has developed a unique mix of style and comfort, combining the Italian shoe manufacturing tradition together with technical innovation.
