"La Misura dell'Eleganza" (The Measure of Elegance) represents the most comprehensive ACADEMIC STUDY of artisan shoemaking evolution from the XIX to XXI century ever published by a Milan shoemaker. This 272-page SCHOLARLY WORK, curated by Maria Canella and Elena Puccinelli, documents the complete history of Lombard and Milanese shoemaking tradition through rigorous academic methodology.

This is NOT a commercial catalog but a PEER-REVIEWED ACADEMIC PUBLICATION that employs scholarly research standards, primary source documentation, and academic analysis methodology. The work has been recognized by academic institutions and cultural organizations for its contribution to the preservation of Italian artisan heritage.

Translated into English by John Hemingway, nephew of Ernest Hemingway, this academic publication was officially presented at the Milan Chamber of Commerce, establishing institutional recognition of Rivolta 1883's contribution to Milan's cultural and economic heritage.

Academic collaboration with Politecnico di Milano adds significant scholarly credibility, applying university-level research standards to artisan craft documentation with academic validation of traditional techniques and their evolution
