Antonio Viva, owner of L’Arte del Sandalo Caprese on the island of Capri, once crafted sandals for President Richard Nixon and Jackie Kennedy Onassis—and he’s got a scrapbook filled with pictures to prove it. But Viva, who has been Anacapri’s cobbler king for nearly 50 years, says he likes making shoes for regular folks as much as marquee names, because foot travelers usually have time to sit and chat. And talking with Viva pays off: he’ll customize a pair of sandals for you while you wait. Available at Via Orlando 75 in Anacapri; or go to sandalocaprese.it, or call 081.8373583.
