MARCIANO S.R.L.

The original Italian shoes

Extraordinary tradition, precious culture of Italian craftsmanship, more than sixty years of experience and high-quality footwear. 

Arbiter tells a fascinating story of brilliant entrepreneurship, sacrifice and passion, enviable qualities displayed by President Alfonso Marciano, mentor and inspirational leader for all his children, heirs of a thriving company in Italy and abroad.

Craftsmanship, quality materials, impeccable finishes: every year new collections are eclectic, diversified and customized according to the customer base. The Arbiter style embraces the whole world, as a symbol of modernity and of understanding men and women current fashion trends.

Made in Italy

It all began in 1954, by the relentless curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit of young President Alfonso Marciano, who, just 17 years old, approached the universe of shoes with humility, a keen sense of dexterity and great responsibility.

Strong and impressive, the brand name conceals a Latin character that draws its origins from the Roman Empire: indeed, back in 62 AD, Titus Petronius Arbiter, teacher and confidante of young Nero, was known to be an excellent “elegance referee”, a sophisticated man of the world with an unquestionable aesthetic taste, who was able to break the rigid rules of traditional costumes, setting new style canons, all the while cherishing luxury and elegance.

The brand name, therefore, reveals the most genuine soul of shoe collections for men and women: careful design, extreme attention to raw materials and all stages of strictly Italian craftsmanship, and clear classical and contemporary appeal.

Each Arbiter creation is a perfect blend of past and present, high-quality products specially created for demanding, careful and informed customers who are always looking for classy items and exclusivity.
