Angelo Luzio's Early Days





The following pictures were found on EBay in June of 2001. They depict the inner and outer sole stamps of a pair of pointe shoes for "Capezio by Angelo Luzio." When asked in July of the same year, confirmation was received from both Capezio and Angelo Luzio of this shoe's authenticity.

Angelo Luzio has indicated the shoes in these pictures are (as of 2001) a "twelve year old pair of antiques." These pointes were probably one of the last few pairs Angelo Luzio made for Capezio, before their licensing agreement was dismissed. Capezio basically hired Angelo Luzio to make all of Capezio's pointe models and distribute them for Canadian dancers.

Afterward, Angelo Luzio began making their own pointe shoe line.
