THE CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL: VIGEVANO’S SHOE MUSEUM BECOMES A MONUMENT

VIGEVANO – This is not just an inauguration; it is a declaration of love for Italian genius. The city of Vigevano, historically celebrated as the Shoe Capital of the World, has today unveiled its new and futuristic museum hub: "The Women's Shoe".

Located in the heart of the historic center, the structure breaks all the rules of traditional architecture. It is a giant glass and steel building that traces the silhouette of a stiletto pump. The highlight? The heel, a soaring spire of blue light that pays homage to the invention of the stiletto heel, which took place right here in these districts in 1953.

Visitors do not enter a simple archive, but a vertical ecosystem:

• Historical Exhibitions: The lower floors house the treasures of the "Pietro Bertolini" collection, with footwear telling the story of centuries of elegance.

• Indoor Gardens: The curves of the shoe host actual suspended forests, a symbol of the perfect union between luxury and nature.

• Night Vision: At sunset, the building transforms into a magic lantern, reflecting onto a water-filled square that enchants citizens and tourists alike.

This masterpiece, signed by the creative flair of Fanty Building, celebrates more than just an object; it honors a city’s ability to transform craftsmanship into immortal art. Vigevano is no longer just a manufacturing district; it has officially become the city of the footwear dream.
