HISTORY
FAMILY VALUES
Almost 70 years have gone by since brothers Giorgio and Guido Ballin, led by their entrepreneurial spirit and not a little courage, decided to make their great dream come true – the production of exclusive and stylish shoes for women.
They set up their small shop in Fiesso d'Artico on the Brenta Riviera where there is a strongly rooted tradition of shoemaking. A workshop followed later, in 1945, the year the shoe factory was effectively founded, bringing the company in the fashion business just a little later.
Giorgio's three children – Gabriella, Reanna and Alessandro – were to take over the business in the 90s, leading it successfully up until the present day, along with Creative Director, Roberto Barina. In 2005 the factory in Fiesso d'Artico was entirely renovated, becoming a perfect example of state-of-the-art production. Another important landmark was reached in 2011, when a single-brand boutique opened in one of the most famous streets of Milan's international luxury shopping quarter - Via Santo Spirito no.5.
