What we are always has to do with what we have been: we are our history.

And our story begins with Luigi Sabatini in 1896, in San Giovanni di Baiano. He made custom-made footwear for the inhabitants of the small village and repaired all kinds of leather products.

The baton then passes to his son Raffaele who in Spoleto, in the 1950s, carried on his father's trade by selling and repairing footwear.

It will be Gaspare Sabatini, at the end of the 1960s who will kick off the real "production" activity. Maintaining all the attention for made-to-measure footwear, it will begin to produce and distribute on the national territory, with its own brand, wooden clogs and rigorously "hand-sewn" leather slippers.

From father to son, to collect the legacy of passion and skills, in 1994, is Federico. Strengthened by his university education but above all by an innate drive and an only positive ambition, he continues together with his father to enhance the artisan dimension of production on a national scale; until the "hand-stitched" becomes a signature within the signature. Federico's enthusiasm together with Gaspare's tenacity and the active presence of his mother Luciana gave birth, in 2001, to the specialist research for foot pathologies. Research that will materialize with the creation of a line dedicated to the Hergos brand and its diffusion and recognition beyond national borders.
