MELLUSO

SEVENTY YEARS OF ICONIC IMAGES

The story of the Melluso shoe factory began more than sixty years ago when Alfonso Melluso, then almost seventeen years old, opened his first shoe workshop in a basement in the Sanità district of Naples, together with his aunt Addolorata Anastasio. The founder’s personal story—and that of the entire Melluso family—is marked by an intertwining of family, economic, and religious elements.
