SALVATORE FERRAGAMO’S MOVIE STAR TURN: Salvatore Ferragamo, founder of his namesake company, was no stranger to the movie world, creating shoes for the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Now, thanks to Luca Guadagnino, Ferragamo will be a movie star himself. Organizers of the Venice Film Festival confirmed on Tuesday that the event will go on as scheduled in a physical format, running Sept.
Guadagnino’s documentary traces Ferragamo’s artistic journey, while also exploring the history of Italy and America, the latter the country where he first developed his business. The film relates Ferragamo’s path, starting his career as an apprentice shoemaker in Naples and then becoming the owner of the Hollywood Boot Shop in California, to his return to Italy, founding his namesake company in Florence.
Ferragamo’s autobiography inspired Guadagnino to develop the project starting in 2017, reaching out to the Ferragamo family. The director had access to the fashion brand’s archives, family anecdotes and interviews, including with the late Wanda Miletti, Salvatore’s wife, who died in October 2018.
