The store’s interior - spanning a total surface area of over 450 square meters - is elegant and luxurious, in line with Ferragamo’s signature style, creating a refined ambiance. The various product areas flow in a series of reflections and glimpses, highlighted by mirrored entrances and gold travertine inlays, reminiscent of a Baroque palace.

The boutique entrance, which affords guests a complete view of the Salvatore Ferragamo range, opens up to a space devoted to handbags. The shoe area follows under a sixteenth-century cross vault, with a special niche for Ferragamo’s Creations line. This leads to the jewelry and watch room, with gold mother-of-pearl walls, antique-effect mirrors and gold raffia, and then to the oval-shaped ready-to-wear space, dominated by the cupolas that emanate indirect light, illuminating the collection.
