❝Curiosity is a very powerful engine to foster creativity and innovation which are at the heart of the Ferragamo culture. At the same time curiosity pushes boundaries to experiment new materials and techniques, to explore new markets and new product categories making Ferragamo a pioneer in many fields. At the same time curiosity pushes us to look back and discover interesting details and anecdotes from the heritage of the company. Its curiosity that also make us want to start new projects.❞ — Angelica Visconti on "Curiosity"
