Shoe Repair Antonello was born in 1924 in the heart of Padua (Piazza dei Signori) by the Antonello family, which gave its name to the store. The nearly century-old shop has been handed down from father to son for several generations following the traditional processing of leather and skins.
Repairs are carried out in a traditional way, "as did my father and my grandfather and those before", says the current owner Mr. Antonello shoemaker. The small shop has never closed for more than 80 years and takes care of the shoes of the Paduans. The shoemaker said that his ancestors not only repaired cheap shoes but also "made shoes by hand for the great lords" that the day went to the store to order them custom made.
Not only repair: in this shop you can find all the products necessary to take care of your shoes: insoles waxes, brushes and detergents.
If you love the past, you can stop to exchange a few words with the owner: he will be glad to tell interesting anecdotes about the history of the city of Padua.
