The Cobbler of Naples
From From Struggle to Success · 18:13
Show by Al Baharul Kader
In the Spanish Quarters of Naples, third-generation cobbler Gennaro Esposito watches cheap, glued shoes and a rising rent threaten his tiny nine-square-metre workshop, and refuses to take money for repairs he does not believe in. After he confesses a fault on a groom's grandfather's wedding shoes in a midnight telephone call and works all night to mend it, a design teacher's visit turns his stubborn honesty into Repair Saturdays, a repairable-shoe collaboration, and a future for his son Davide and a new apprentice at the bench.Disclosure: This episode is narrated with an AI-generated voice.
