GALLERIA MERAVIGLIA CELEBRATES SANTONI WITH IMMERSIVE EXHIBITION | “MERAVIGLIA – MAKERS OF BEAUTY FOR 50 YEARS”

The exhibition, being staged during Milan Fashion Week, at Galleria Meraviglia, Meraviglia – Makers of Beauty for 50 Years is designed as a tribute to the artisans who shaped the legacy of Santoni.

The showcase invites viewers to examine the brand’s legacy by exploring the craft of handcraft and workmanship. The photographic series by lensman Jack Davison highlights the care behind each gesture: worn yet steady hands, stitches executed with practiced rhythm, precise cuts, thoughtful brushstrokes. Davison’s portraits reflect a tradition that is not static but alive, evolving, and deeply rooted in personal craftsmanship.

The exhibition also reveals the Objects of Marvel — the artisans’ tools, weathered by time yet enduring in purpose. These instruments — lovingly worn — speak volumes. Their handles show the wear of time, their surfaces marked by hours of dedicated work. Arranged on a central table, these tools are a testament to the craftsmanship that transforms raw materials into objects of lasting beauty.

The experience culminates with the Meraviglia collection, a series of iconic styles for men and women that represent the fullest expression of Santoni’s legacy.

A tribute to exceptional craftsmanship, where tradition and innovation meet in perfect harmony, the men’s collection reimagines archival lace-ups rich with history, alongside loafers that strike a balance between lightness and substance. The signature double buckle pairs with the rare artistry of seamless Uniqua construction, sculpting a single piece of leather with remarkable precision.

Each piece in the Meraviglia collection is a testament to patience, skill and time, further elevated bySantoni Culture — a special symbol created for the 50th anniversary that captures the very soul of the brand.

Meraviglia is a journey into the most noble facet of luxury: time. The time to create, to perfect, to let beauty evolve into something truly eternal. It’s a tribute to a tradition that is elevated to an art form, an act of love for impeccable craftsmanship, a promise of everlasting elegance. It’s a moment — a pause to reflect on what it means to create with intention, to honor the past while shaping the future and to find, in the simplest of gestures, something truly extraordinary.
