A pair of black patent leather lace-up dance shoes owned by Frank Sinatra. The Capezio shoes are size 8 1/2 W. The shoes were acquired directly from Sinatra’s personal costumer and longtime friend, Michael Castellano. Castellano began working with the entertainer in 1976 after replacing Sinatra’s previous personal aide, Eddie Fitzsimmons. Castellano quickly became Sinatra’s “right-hand man” and performed numerous duties for Sinatra while maintaining his stage and personal wardrobe collection. Castellano received these shoes as a personal gift from Sinatra prior to leaving his service in 1981. He has retained the items in his possession since that time. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Michael Castellano. Categories: Frank Sinatra
