The exhibition is a wonderful display of the most beautiful creations by the great Master Salvatore Ferragamo, there are not only shoes displayed but also refined dresses prepared for actresses, lovely hats, the drawings of shoes on a gold leaf by Andy Warhol. Another important protagonist of the exhibition is Stephen Jones, the famous British hat designer, and there is the opportunity to see for the first time in Florence 30 gorgeous hats from his archive which have never been exhibited before.
