BRUNO MAGLI Shoes: About Bruno Magli... Bruno Magli was founded in Bologna, Italy in the 1930 s when three siblings, Marino, Maria and Bruno Magli were taught the art of shoemaking by their grandfather in a small basement. In 1936, the siblings transformed their basement factory into a small business, otherwise known as The Magli Shoe Factory (Calzaturifico Magli). Propelled by the Made in Italy craze, Bruno Magli quickly became a leader in design, fabrication and commercialization of high-quality fashion shoes and became a major competitor in the Italian footwear market. In 1968, headed by the second generation of the Magli family, Bruno Magli moved to its current headquarters in Bologna at via Larga 33.
