LEONARDO, Via del Leone, 33/r - Tel: +39
055 2396670
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.
