Vintage via Spiga Made in Italy Vero Cuoio Leather Snake 。Dino Certo, from Brooklyn NY, once made suits for Hollywood celebrities including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Johnny Carson. Since the 1980s he has designed fine Italian footwear that now bears the Certo name. Men of distinction appreciate the soft, comfortable quality of his shoes available in both loafer and lace up. Certo\'s fine Italian footwear has a distinctive look and comfortable quality you can feel. His prestigeous store in Beverly Hills California is a hot spot for men who love fine Italian design and craftmanship. Mr. Certo advised me that these shoes were designed by him in the 80\'s. Back then embossed leather was not yet created, therefore he stated these are \'exotic skin\'. These loafers still have a lot of life in them but will do best with someone who is familiar with vintage exotic skin leather shoes. Please get in touch with any questions.
