Paolo Scarfora

The legacy of Scafora’s bootmaker can be rooted as early as 1956 in the small city of Casandrino, only few kilometers from Napoli. Paolo’s father, Gennaro Scafora, acquired his craft skills from his own father who practiced as a cobbler.

Paolo steeped in shoemaking since the very moment he was born in 1974 while his father had just opened his workshop manufacturing leather soles for other bootmakers of Napoli. Rocked by the hammering sounds and cradled by the mix of fragrance from leathers, waxes and dyes, Paolo and his brothers grew up playing in the workshop and learned every secrets of Neapolitan craftsmanship from their father. After pursuing its training in Milan then over the world to develop its own techniques and skills, Paolo finally decided to come back to the family workshop.
