Scarpa Italy

The story of the Parisotto family, the owners of Calzaturificio S.C.A.R.P.A. S.p.A., began in the 1940s, when at the age of eleven Luigi Parisotto - the fourth of seven brothers - started work as an apprentice shoemaker in several firms and for several artisans in the famed shoe-making area around Montebelluna in northeast Italy.

From the very outset, Luigi loved his work, and for over tens years that enthusiasm buoyed him as he learned the art of shoemaking under the tutorship of a number of skilled craftsmen.

It is with great pride that they see their footwear on your feet, and to know that they have given their best efforts to bring you the highest quality. They try hard to achieve the delicate alchemy of quality that distinguishes their shoes in terms of reliability, technicality, fit, durability and suitability.
