Perhaps the only thing that unites the irreconcilable antagonists George Bush and Saddam Hussein are shoes. Both the head of the American administration and the Iraqi president prefer to wear the most elegant and expensive shoes in the world that the famous Italian company Artioli sews to order. Her head of Vito Artily, according to the Al-Wasat, the Mezharab weekly weekly, admitted that both order the same classic model on the laces from him.
According to Artily, the first of the two presidents, Artioli boots put on Bush. Last year alone, he ordered 15 pairs worth a thousand dollars each. It is difficult to say whether Hussein followed the example of his main enemy, or his choice was random, ITAR-TASS reports. However, for some time, the Iraqi leader also invariably puts on his feet a masterpiece of Italian shoes.
However, Hussein and Bush are not alone in their shoe addictions. Among the customers of Artioli are several chapters of states, emira, sultans, princes, representatives of the world of art and show business.
