Museo internazionale della calzatura, Footwear museum in Castello Sforzesco, Vigevano, Italy
The International Shoe Museum occupies eleven exhibition rooms within the medieval castle, displaying over 4,500 pairs of shoes from different periods and origins.
Founded in 2003, the museum originated from Pietro Bertolini's collection started in the 1930s, which he donated to Vigevano in 1948 to preserve shoe history.
The collection features shoes from international designers including Ferragamo, Dior, Armani, and Vuitton, representing global footwear fashion evolution through centuries.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Friday between 14:00 and 17:30, with extended hours from 10:00 to 18:00 during weekends and public holidays.
Among the exhibits stands a fifteenth-century slipper belonging to Duchess Beatrice d'Este and original shoes worn by Marilyn Monroe.
