During the difficult years of the war, Cesare's father opened a small artisan workshop, where each shoe came to life with just a few essential tools, but with great passion and attention to detail. From him, Cesare inherited a deep respect for materials and a love for the craft, growing up surrounded by leather, shoe lasts, and skilled hands.

He became a men's footwear pattern maker, a role he held for most of his life, honing his technique and creative vision. But it was in his encounter with women’s shoes that a natural creative evolution took place: a space where precision and style, craftsmanship and identity could come together. This gave birth to a product that speaks the language of sartorial excellence, made with fine materials and unique constructions.

The workshop grew into a place of both innovation and memory, where every creation rejects standardization and celebrates individuality. Inspired by Naples — its colors, its flair, its vitality — the collections reflect a free and refined aesthetic.

Federica Lancioni is more than just a name: it represents the fusion of family bonds and creative strength, a tangible sign of the roots from which everything began.

Today, the brand is recognized internationally as a symbol of artisanal excellence and true Made in Italy: a story that continues to walk the world, one step at a time.
