Modigliani Carnevale
The Modigliani Carnevale celebrates the most theatrical and surprising soul of Venice, transforming artisanal tradition into a play of texture, movement, and color. Inspired by the atmosphere of the famous Venetian Carnival - made of precious details, masks, rich fabrics, and lights reflecting on the water - this footwear reinterprets the iconic Piedàterre silhouette through a textured, contemporary craftsmanship, designed for those who love to stand out with elegance and personality.
The upper is crafted from a fringed jacquard fabric with a three-dimensional character, where the geometric motif comes to life through raised threads that create movement and visual depth. The vibrant, irregular surface lends the model a sophisticated yet instinctive allure, evoking the decorative textiles and scenic atmospheres of Venetian palaces. Tone-on-tone grosgrain finishes precisely define the shoe's profile, while the iconic Venetian glass bead stitched on the side discreetly signatures each pair, honouring the Lagoon's ancient artisanal heritage.
Every pair is made by hand, carried out in Italy from start to finish, without the use of glue. Our friulane are hand-stitched following traditional Friulian methods by specialised artisans who dedicate care and attention to every single stage of production. All materials are selected to ensure softness, lightness, and daily comfort, while the technical, cushioned sole accompanies your step with flexibility and ease.
Every pair is handcrafted in Italy, entirely without the use of glues. Each shoe is hand-stitched according to Friulian tradition by our artisans, trained directly in the atelier, who dedicate time and expertise to every single stitch. The production chain is 100% Italian: from the natural velvet to the cotton lining, and from the technical, cushioned sole to the final finishes.
Available in three colors, the Carnevale friulane are designed to add character to even the most minimalist outfits. Perfect with denim, velvet, relaxed tailoring, or minimalist silhouettes, they transition effortlessly from day to night, transforming every movement into a small, theatrical gesture. A model that speaks of the most creative and fascinating Venice, where craftsmanship and imagination meet in perfect balance.

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.
