About us
Our Story
The company VIAMERCANTI was founded in 1995 by the meeting of two childhood friends with the passion of craftsmanship: Antonio comes from the world of textiles and fashion, Paolo is an historic artisan from Salerno.
Initially they produce sandals intended for local customers. Over the years, the small shop began to organize itself to meet the needs of numerous customers who appreciate the craftsmanship of the products in Italy and throughout Europe. The collections and production, 100% made in Italy, are made with love in our company located in Salerno, a few steps from the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri: places that have always inspired our collections. In the very first years of 2000 the meeting with Renato Cenedella took place. The esteemed stylist and connoisseur of the European and world market puts an edge on the Viamercanti: footwear becomes more international and sophisticated: special care and attention to the materials, shapes and accessories that characterize each line, aimed at satisfying the demands of an increasingly demanding female clientele, in terms of quality and practicality. Today, after twenty years of activity, we still manage the family business, the primary objective is to transmit our peculiarities to the new generations to continue to produce with passion and love refined women's shoes.
