Massimo Mandozzi Designer

I was born in Sant'Elpidio a Mare, one of the most renowned distracted shoe manufacturers in the world. I move my first steps in the world of shoes next to my grandfather Costantino Mandozzi, one of the first in the territory to represent the figure of the shoe designer, and my father Maurizio, my working and human reference points. Thanks to them I was able to absorb the secrets of the art of "creating shoes", with their teaching I was able to experience my first creations. I started working in 1995. My multifaceted personality and my innate curiosity drive me to confront the international reality. Following the example of my father Maurizio, the creative mind behind the design of the historic Mary Popps, at the end of the 90s I felt the need to go beyond the borders of Italy and Europe and arrive in the United States in search of new inspiration and new trends. It was in the United States that my first collaborations with large companies came to life, constantly putting myself to the test. Today, in 2020, I am still in love with my work and determined to continue to pursue it with all my passion.
