Pier Paolo Marotta

About us

A clothing, footwear and accessories shop on the main street of Formia, open since 2016.

Our story

Pier Paolo Marotta grows out of a hand-tailoring tradition passed down through the generations by our founder and namesake master. Today that experience becomes a curated selection of clothing, footwear and accessories bringing together American heritage workwear, Italian craftsmanship and international contemporary design.

We carry authentic brands such as Red Wing Shoes, Manifattura Ceccarelli, Schott, Edwin, Carhartt WIP, Sebago and Lemargo: houses that share our belief in build quality, honest materials and lasting wear. From waxed jackets to technical parkas, from Goodyear-welted boots to handmade Italian loafers, from Japanese selvedge denim to merino knitwear, every piece is chosen for character, traceable origin and the ability to age beautifully.

How we choose

We don't buy catalogues, we buy garments.

01
Brands with a history
Houses that know why they make something a certain way, and keep making it that way.
02
Materials before seasons
A garment that lasts years is worth more than one that lasts a season.
03
Tried on in the shop
What we sell online is what sits on the shelves in via Vitruvio.

Who chooses us

Our customers look for distinctive pieces that tell a story: garments made to live with, with functional style, authenticity and a look that crosses seasons without chasing passing trends.

Browse the catalogue for heritage footwear, iconic outerwear, honest denim and functional accessories, chosen with the same care and eye for detail that has always defined Pier Paolo Marotta.

Online and in the shop share one stockroom

There is no separate virtual window: when you order from the site, the piece leaves the Formia shop. That is why we can tell you how it really fits, if you write and ask.
