Story & heritage
Magnifico is part of Bontoni's official ready-made shop edit, a split-toe derby that shows the small Marche workshop's preference for hand-coloured leather and expressive classic shapes.
Few shoes are as versatile as this split-toe derby. The 'Magnifico' is arguably one of Bontoni's most popular models. In its latest incarnation, the ‘Magnifico' takes on a more casual look while still preserving many of Bontoni's characteristic hand-sewn details throughout.
Materials & craft
Official product details list Five-eyelet derby with hand-sewn split-toe apron, Entirely handmade on our classic rounded toe, Rovere (oak) suede, Hand-stitched Norwegian construction, Lightweight lug sole, Lasted shoe trees included. Bontoni's craft pages describe a hand-led workshop process: leather is cut, sewn, lasted, welted, and finished through hundreds of manual operations.
How to choose & style
Magnifico sits in the versatile middle: refined with tailoring, relaxed with knitwear and denim, and especially good where a standard dress shoe would feel too formal.
The rounded and chiseled Bontoni shapes like clean trouser breaks; avoid swallowing the apron or welt under heavy hems.
