Jacopo Carracci, called Pontormo, Florentine painter lived in the sixtheenth century,wrote in his delirious diary that Michelangelo Buonarroti never take off his boots.
When he decided to do it,his skin went away with them.It is well-know that Michelangelo was an unrefined man who detested water.But thanks to this relation with his boots it’s possible to note the symbolic value of this footwear.
During the centuries, boots are associates to an idea of power and domination.

They are the image of a victorious man.they were shod by powerful condottieri on horseback,by cawboys of the western period.

In 1974 Mauro Sani created “Buttero “ the classic Tuscan mark of boots. Buttero is the italian version of the American cowboys,he lived in Maremma, an hard land,where bandits sacked poor people. This is the local version of the cowboys boots. During the 1970 boots in all sort are the specialisation of the buttero factory; like techical horse boots,traditional boots in caw leather; which can boast some primacies like a creation of the moods boots without zip,wore by Beatles,or the invention of a small pocket for cigarettes and matchs.

Now the legend goes on.Boots and jeans are current fashion.They are a sure value. They are a functional archetype binds to a direct contact with nature.They can symbolise the connection with hones traditions.
In this age of virtual time,boots signal the need of having feet fixed on earth.

Nowdays boots are trend, they aren’t an unrefined accessory but they represent a jewel to wear for women and men.
In this country which has the form of a boots,”Buttero “ is the real symbol of this footwear.
