Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams tells the story of Salvatore Ferragamo’s beginnings, starring Luca Guadagnino. Unveiling how the modest Italian shoemaker rose to fame in Hollywood as a master of comfort and design, a new teaser for the documentary teases us with The picture, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2020, is anticipated to debut later this year from Sony Pictures Classics.

The video introduces the idea of Ferragamo’s shoe business — a comfort — by showcasing several shoes he designed for Marilyn Monroe before fully introducing him to viewers. When he was just 12 years old, Ferragamo opened his first shoe business, working for a well-known Italian design house. In 1915, at the age of 16, he emigrated to the United States and became a pioneer in the early days of cinema in Hollywood.
