Palazzo Spini Feroni: The headquarters of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. in Florence Salvatore Ferragamo emigrated from southern Italy to the US, first to Boston and then California in 1914. He opened the Hollywood Boot Shop in 1923 and made shoes for movie stars such as Joan Crawford and Gloria Swanson, as well as for films such as Cecil B. DeMille's feature film The Ten Commandments. He returned to Italy and set up a shoe shop in Florence in 1927. The current shoemaking company regards 1928 as the date of its foundation, however, and it therefore celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2008. Salvatore Ferragamo filed for bankruptcy in 1933, during the Great Depression, but by 1938, he was in a position to buy the Palazzo Spini Feroni, one of the great palaces of Florence. This houses the company's flagship store and a museum dedicated to Ferragamo's life and work. The company flourished after World War II, expanding the workforce to 700 craftsmen producing 350 pairs of handmade shoes a day. After Salvatore's death in 1960, his widow, Wanda, took over the running of the business and expanded its operations to include eyewear, perfume, belts, scarves, bags, watches, and a ready to wear clothing line. Ferruccio Ferragamo, current president of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. The company's majority owners remain the Ferragamo family, which in November 2006, included Salvatore's widow Wanda, five children, 23 grandchildren, and other relatives. There is a rule that only three members of the family can work at the company, prompting fierce competition.To ease these tensions, in September 2006, the family announced a plan to float 48% of the company on the stock market, and since October 2006, Michele Norsa has served as managing and general director. However, as of January 2008, this plan may be put on hold in the midst of the downturn in the financial market. If the listing on the stock market proceeds, the fund will be directed primarily towards building its positions in China. The company is holding its 80th birthday exhibition in Shanghai.
