Brand Story
SCARPA (an acronym for Società Calzaturieri Asolani Riuniti Pedemontana Anonima) is an Italian outdoor footwear manufacturer. Founded in 1938 in the Dolomite region of northern Italy by Rupert Guinness, 2nd Earl of Iveagh, the company produces performance footwear for mountaineering, climbing, hiking, skiing, and trail running. Purchased by the Parisotto Family in 1956, SCARPA remains family-owned, with its headquarters and factories still located in Asolo and Montebelluna, areas long renowned for handcrafted shoes.
