If you are a lover of antique furniture, you will definitely want to visit the Borgheresi Leonardo on Via del Leone, 33/r. Structured in the beginning of the 20th century as a quaint, small carpenter's workshop, this incredible humble yet prestigious store specializes in the reproduction of antique chairs. As a fairy tale, ending, Giovanni Borgheresi worked as an apprentice in this carpenter's workshop and became the owner in 1942. As tradition goes, the shop was handed down the generations and the present owner is Leonardo, the grandson of Giovanni Borgheresi who started the versatile business of conserving the furniture of the 30's with the innovative methods of manufacture, restoration and polishing.
