Our history

We have been Camarri since 1916

Our business was born in 1916, during the First World War.
The founder was Domenico Camarri, who came down from Arcidosso, a center in the Amiata mountains, opened a “Shoemaker's shop”.

Here the shoes were made, since there were no companies or initiatives organized at the production level capable of supplying this primary good. Mostly "big shoes" were made, made with greased cowhide leathers and bills, destined for the countryside and for transit on the dirt roads of those times.

The shoe repair shop has always been located in Via San Martino 2, in the historic center of Grosseto, where it is still located.

The business continued for decades, always led by Domenico, achieving commercial success despite the war period in which the supply of leather and other raw materials became problematic.

In 1947 Cataldo Camarri, Domenico's son, takes over the business which over time had been changing the type of production and articles, adapting to the demands of a more varied and demanding clientele. This consolidates the trust and credibility of the company in the city and in the entire surrounding area. In 1986 he takes over Andrea Camarri, son of Cataldo. In recent years Andrea, spurred on by a clientele that seeks unconventional items, inserts his own production and small artisans in his shop, able to satisfy a clientele who appreciates the "handmade". It also gives the possibility to personalize the article with a careful choice of leather and finishes, thus returning to some processes of the past with an understandable adaptation to the fashion of the present. This business development meets the consensus of the public even more.

Furthermore, to date, the Camarri company participates in fairs in Italy and Europe, presenting lines of typical handicraft footwear, always enjoying great success.

We arrive at 2020, the year in which they take over the company Serena Camarri is Gaia Camarri, Andrea's daughters... the fourth generation and another page of history to be written!
