I soon discovered that I had left my beloved Capezio tap shoes in the hotel or at the club of our last show. So, in Finland, I was met at the hotel by a friendly local rep who spoke fluent English, and taken to a department store where I bought shoes, a dance studio, where I purchased taps, and a cobbler’s shop, where the taps were attached.

… The dance studio was up a few stairs off the street into a hallway lined with really cute little girls in ballet tights, toe shoes, and tutus, staring at me in wide-eyed wonder. The cobblers shop was like walking into Geppetto’s shop. Shoes of all kinds lined the shelf-lined walls and the dark wood really added to the old-world feel.
It was charming. The shoemaker had stayed after hours especially to do this job. I gave him the equivalent of a $10 tip. He looked at me - his face lighting up like a birthday cake - and exuberantly said “Thanks.” It was nice being appreciated - for both of us.

The performance was in a sit-down stadium and the show went well. I recall tap dancing down through the audience and around the back of the middle row of seats, I tapped a rhythm with the drumsticks on the back of the chairs, people leaning forward like dominoes as I passed them.John "Drumbo" French | October 1975Helsinki, FinlandFrom: Beefheart: Through The Eyes Of Magic (Proper Music group, 2010)

"The idea was to pay homage to the shoes that have made its name, with the legendary René Caovilla archive plundered for iconic styles and inspiration. The results are breathtaking."

"L'idea era di omaggiare le scarpe che hanno reso celebre il marchio, saccheggiando gli archivi della René Caovilla alla ricerca di ispirazione e stili iconici. I risultati lasciano senza fiato"

Thank you,

"When I want to explain an idea for a shoe, I draw it. The designer is the key figure. Computer aided design is the future, but we still use the last.
I'm writing a book where on one page there will be the model and the opposite page will feature the idea where the design come from."
René Fernando Caovilla - 1998
Interviewed by Giovanni Luigi Fontana editor of the book
"100 Years of Footwear Industry In Riviera Del Brenta"
"Quando voglio spiegare un'idea da mettere su una scarpa la disegno. Il disegnatore resta la figura chiave. Si farà sempre di più progettazione col computer, ma noi usiamo ancora la formetta.
Sto facendo un libro, dove da una parte ci sarà il modello e dall'altra sarà il disegno di come é nata l'idea."
