History and Facts: Salvatore Capezio was born on April 13, 1871 in Muro Lucano, Italy. Uninterested in following in his fathers footsteps as a construction engineer, he became an artist of his own right, a cobbler. In 1887, at the age of 17, he opened his shop on Broadway and 39th Street, diagonally across from the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. At the time, the Statue of Liberty was barely a year old and the sign above his door read: The Theatrical & Historical Shoemaker. He started out repairing theatrical shoes for the Met and his excellent craftsmanship and his easy-going personality made him a favorite among the dancers. After making an emergency pair of shoes for Jean De Reszke, Salvatore made the transition from cobbler to shoemaker. He had found that making dance shoes, pointe shoes in particular, was a challenging balance between delicate construction and complex engineering.

Capezio is much more than a dance apparel manufacturer. Capezio has continually dedicated themselves for over fifty years to the patronage and support of the dance community.
Capezio is proud of their history and excited about their future.
