It tells a story of hands working slowly, of gestures handed down through generations, of patience that takes shape. And when this ancient material meets the vision of a contemporary designer, something rare is born: an authentic &#8220;renaissance&#8221;, like the one celebrated on 24 September in Milan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fmdo3v0\"><span data-text-edit-color=\"\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">The occasion was special: the Consorzio Cuoio di Toscana, an international leader in the production of sole leather, celebrated its 40th anniversary with the second edition of RI-NASCIMENTO Vol.2, an event that combined style, innovation and Made in Italy culture. The star of the evening was the new Opanka women&#8217;s shoe, designed by Diego Dolcini, the feminine evolution of a project that had already conquered the scene with its men&#8217;s version.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"slideshow _fit-frame-height-to-content\" data-slideshow-component=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fmb9il0\">\n<div class=\"slideshow-container\" doc-slideshow=\"slideshow\" _slideshow-size-ratio=\"1.50\" style=\"height: 0px; padding-bottom: 149.927%;\">\n<div u=\"slides\" class=\"slides\" doc-container=\"slideshow\">\n<figure class=\"image\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fmbcee0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-size: 100%; background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/132397-132389.jpeg');\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fmbdtq0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-size: 100%; background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/132397-132390.jpeg');\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fmbfcc0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-size: 100%; background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/132397-132392.jpeg');\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fmbgju0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-size: auto 100%; background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/132397-132393.jpeg');\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>        <span u=\"arrowleft\" class=\"arrow _left\"><\/span><br \/>\n        <span u=\"arrowright\" class=\"arrow _right\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div u=\"thumbnavigator\" class=\"thumbnavigator\">\n<div u=\"slides\" class=\"thumbslides\">\n<div u=\"prototype\" class=\"thumbproto\">\n<div class=\"thumb-w\">\n<div u=\"thumbnailtemplate\" class=\"thumb-t\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"thumb-c\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fm9n870\"><span data-text-edit-color=\"\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">The shoe uses the traditional Opanka technique, where the sole and upper are fused into a single element. An ancient technique reinterpreted with a modern spirit: the collection features eight colour variations, including nappa leather and laminate, and introduces GAIT-TECH\u00ae technology, a patented biomechanical device that guarantees comfort and stability without sacrificing aesthetics. It is the perfect combination of artisan savoir-faire and technological research: tradition that becomes movement, form that becomes function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fme0100\"><span data-text-edit-color=\"\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">&#8220;Our goal is to transform tradition into a contemporary language, creating authentic, sustainable and forward-looking products,&#8221; commented Antonio Quirici, president of the Consortium. A statement that sums up the mission of Cuoio di Toscana, global spokesperson for a district of excellence in tanning rooted between Santa Croce sull&#8217;Arno and San Miniato, where historic companies such as Bonistalli e Stefanelli, Lamonti Cuoio and Volpi Concerie keep alive the slow vegetable tanning process using natural tannins from chestnut, mimosa and quebracho.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"slideshow\" data-slideshow-component=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fma09n0\">\n<div class=\"slideshow-container\" doc-slideshow=\"slideshow\">\n<div u=\"slides\" class=\"slides\" doc-container=\"slideshow\">\n<figure class=\"image\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fma2oa0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/132397-132394.jpeg');\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"image\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1j9fma3sj0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/132397-132395.jpeg');\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>        <span u=\"arrowleft\" class=\"arrow _left\"><\/span><br \/>\n        <span u=\"arrowright\" class=\"arrow _right\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div u=\"thumbnavigator\" class=\"thumbnavigator\">\n<div u=\"slides\" class=\"thumbslides\">\n<div u=\"prototype\" class=\"thumbproto\">\n<div class=\"thumb-w\">\n<div u=\"thumbnailtemplate\" class=\"thumb-t\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"thumb-c\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span data-text-edit-color=\"\">The second edition of &#8220;RI-NASCIMENTO&#8221; celebrates 40 years of Cuoio di Toscana with an evening event dedicated to the dialogue between tradition and the future.
