Why go

About Calzoleria Rolando

Rolando and his wife Rosetta opened their shoe shop in 1949 on Salita Serbelloni, one of Bellagio’s most attractive lanes. He repaired shoes and made them to measure, while she did the careful stitching. Their eldest son Cesare grew up in the shop and later helped run it. Early customers were mostly Milanese families on holiday by the lake.

Today the Bertolaso family, from Rolando through to the youngest generation, runs the shop in its fourth generation. Over the years the range grew to include bags and belts, and the family works with craftspeople in Tuscany, a region known for leatherwork. They choose the leathers themselves from Italian tanneries, and the shop has grown into a stop for visitors from many countries.
