Peter Nappi was born of Phillip Nappi's personal passion for boots, heritage, and artisan craftsmanship. It was only after he set out to make his dream company a reality that he discovered his grandfather, whom he'd never met, had been a shoemaker in Italy before emigrating to America in 1904. One hundred years later, the Nappi family is honored to revive Pietro's vision, sharing his dedication and craft with a new generation. Our leather boots and shoes are all handmade in Italy and named for the people and places we love.
