Modigliani Mesh
The Modigliani Mesh friulane shoes represent the lightest and most contemporary evolution of Piedàterre’s most iconic silhouette. Crafted from high-breathability technical mesh, they offer a fresh, weightless fit perfect for those seeking the authentic friulana in its airiest and most modern form. It is a story that has unfolded since 1952 on the Rialto Bridge, where our tradition transforms materials both natural and technical into small masterpieces of Italian craftsmanship.
The timeless design of the Modigliani is expressed through a refined palette: deep Blue, ageless Black, discreet Nude, and delicate Antique Rose. The rounded toe and harmonious neckline define the classic silhouette, here reinterpreted in a fine-weave mesh with a sporty-chic character, designed to let the foot breathe even on the warmest days. Color-matched grosgrain finishes edge each pair with sartorial precision, while the signature Venetian glass bead, hand-sewn onto the side, serves as a hallmark of Piedàterre’s unmistakable authenticity.
Every pair is entirely hand-sewn in Italy without the use of adhesives, crafted by artisans who safeguard the secrets of the Friulian tradition. A 100% Italian supply chain follows the rhythms of a slow, conscious production process, where the quality of raw materials and attention to detail remain the sole priorities. This artisanal expertise has, since 1952, preserved the soul that distinguishes every Piedàterre shoe.
The Modigliani Mesh are the ideal summer companions for those who desire absolute lightness: from city strolls and summer travels to open-air aperitifs. The technical sole ensures comfort and support, while the mesh guarantees constant freshness, embodying that relaxed elegance that lies at the very heart of the Venetian Dolce Vita.
Available in 4 colors: Blue, Black, Nude, and Antique Rose; sizes 35 to 42S.

Piedàterre velvet Friulane require simple maintenance to preserve their beauty over time:
Daily cleaning: gently brush with a velvet brush following the grain in circular motions.
Light stains: dab with a damp cloth without rubbing. Allow to air dry, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: store the Friulane in a dry place. Avoid compressing the velvet to prevent crushing the fibers.
Being entirely handmade artisan footwear, careful maintenance ensures long-lasting wear.
For other fabrics such as silk or wool, we recommend contacting our customer service.
Yes, slight differences in shade between the color displayed on screen and the actual product color are possible. This depends on several factors: monitor calibration, the lighting conditions in which the photo was taken and viewed, and the artisanal nature of the velvet dyeing process, which can produce minor variations between batches.
Some colors, such as Azure, are particularly sensitive to these perception differences. We constantly strive to make our photographs as accurate as possible.
