Would make sense, as he is the most expensive shoe guy in Florence.
It's said that he is mostly consulted by his fellow countrymen because of the easier communication.


Gazman, I wonder (well actually not as you obviously liked a less severe version better) why you didn't go with his typical "dagger" shaped chisel.
