In the enchanting 1980 Italian comedy Mia moglie è una strega, the talented Eleonora Giorgi portrays a modern-day witch navigating contemporary life. At approximately the 17:30 mark of the film, her character is captivated by a pair of mules or slides displayed in a shop window—a style reminiscent of the footwear we celebrate here at Zoccoli.biz.
Although these aren’t strictly wooden clogs, they share a similarly distinctive shape and timeless appeal. This scene not only showcases Giorgi’s impeccable fashion sense but also highlights the enduring allure of such footwear in women’s fashion. The choice of mules reflects a blend of traditional craftsmanship and elegance, aligning seamlessly with our dedication to celebrating iconic shoe designs.

By reflecting on such cinematic moments, we continue to honor and draw inspiration from the rich history of mules, slides, and other classic footwear in fashion.
The shoe store “Raphael Salato,” whose window Finnicella (Giorgi) uses her magical powers to “steal” a pair of red shoes from, is now Rivoli (still a shoe store), located at Via Vittorio Veneto 104 in Rome, on the corner of Via Lombardia (the same street Giorgi’s character walks down after the “theft”).
