Borsalino Schiappelli
On the ground floor of the Municipal Residence, on Corso Martiri della Libertà, you’ll find the Historic Shop Borsalino Schiappelli: the oldest clothing, hat and accessories boutique in Ferrara, founded back in 1845. Even today, the shop is marked by its original sign, the house’s trademark.
The Italian company, well known for its hat production, grew significantly after winning the Grand Prix at the 1900 Paris World’s Fair, and continued production between artisanal and industrial manufacturing, becoming famous worldwide.
Over the years, the Historic Shop Borsalino Schiappelli has transformed from a simple hat shop into an elegant fashion and accessories store for men and women. Its painted metal shopfront, with the chic, sophisticated allure of the late 19th century, hints at the wonderful interior with its architectural details: the fixtures, also original from the time the shop opened, the wooden shelving and counters, the antique wedge-patterned marble floor – everything combines to recreate the unique, refined atmosphere of this historic shop in the beating heart of the city.
A visit to this boutique is therefore a must, to breathe in the atmosphere of times gone by, but above all to browse and purchase the latest high-quality trending pieces, recommended thanks to the decades of experience of its owner, Teresa Schiappelli.
