S. Jacopo, 70/r - Tel: +39 055 294730
Do you have a penchant
for carved and gilded antiques? Then,
the Bongini on Borgo S. Jacop, 70/r, is
the place for you. Started by Rolando
Cafissi in 1948, this difficult to find
oval-shaped property belonged as the Sacristy
near the Church of S. Jacopo Sopr'Arno.
Bongini specializes in the restoration
of carved and gilded antiques which has
now been moved across the street by Cafissi's
son-in-law, Massimo Bongini. Take a look
at the original store which is a retail
outlet housed in an elegant gray stone
finish building. |
