Baldinini is an Italy-based brand specialising in luxury shoes in the manufacturing district of Rubicone province of Forlì-Cesena, Italy.[1]
The company began in 1910, in the town of San Mauro Pascoli, which is recognised around the world for its high-quality footwear companies.[2] In the 1970s, Gimmi Baldinini entered the company. The company has 100 Baldinini stores around the world and employs 250 workers.
