Ferragamo Partners With Alberto Tomba To Celebrate Italian Excellence
December 2025 – Ferragamo is pleased to announce the beginning of an important collaboration with Italian skiing legend Alberto Tomba, a true symbol of excellence and determination.
The decision to partner with Alberto Tomba stems from the desire to celebrate values shared by the Florentine fashion house: dedication, perseverance, resilience, and meticulous attention to detail. These are the very principles that guided Salvatore Ferragamo throughout his visionary journey, driven by passion, a constant pursuit of excellence, and deep respect for craftsmanship.
With a remarkable career marked by global achievements, Tomba embodies the most authentic expression of an Italy that believes in talent, commitment, and the ability to push beyond limits.
“Alberto Tomba is a symbol of talent, courage, and determination,” said Leonardo Ferragamo. “His sporting journey perfectly reflects Ferragamo’s philosophy: every achievement is born from sacrifice, every result from dedication. We share with him a profound sense of authenticity and a love for excellence—values that continue to inspire our daily work.”
“Being chosen by Ferragamo is an honor,” commented Alberto Tomba. “I have always believed that sport and style share a common language: passion, discipline, and the desire to improve every day. Representing a brand that embodies all of this—and that brings Italian beauty and craftsmanship to the world—is a source of great pride.”
Alberto Tomba, born in Bologna in 1966, is one of the greatest alpine skiers of all time: he is the only athlete to have won races for 11 consecutive seasons (1987–1998) and to have claimed 4 Giant Slalom titles and 4 Special Slalom titles. He has also won 3 Olympic gold medals, 2 Olympic silvers, 2 World Championship golds, 2 World Championship bronzes, 50 World Cup victories, and 1 overall World Cup title—revolutionizing the sport with his energy, charisma, and unwavering dedication to his discipline. Today, he continues to stand as a global icon of sporting passion and Italian spirit.
