During its annual meeting, the Associazione dei Calzaturieri della Riviera del Brenta (the association of footwear manufacturers of the Riviera del Brenta), awarded the owner of Maripé, Roberto Panizzolo, a certificate of merit for his business achievements

for having honestly and skillfully contributed to the prestige and the development of the footwear industry in the Riviera del Brenta.

Last year the company received an award from the European group of retailers ANWR for having commercialised 100000 pairs of a single shoe model.

The company is preparing for a generational changeover, in which Panizzolo’s children will take up the reins of the company to continue the family tradition.
Meanwhile, during the award ceremony Roberto Panizzolo declared that he will continue working “till the end of my days, with a lot of energy.”
During the annual meeting, very positive data emerged for the luxury shoe district of the Veneto region, the privileged point of reference for many fashion houses, among which Christian Dior, Armani, Valentino and Louis Vuitton: contrary to the national trend, the footwear industry of the Riviera del Brenta is growing, with a turnover that amounts to more than two billion euro.
