Come and buy useful accessories
to supplement the needs of modern life.
Established by Vittorio Brovelli in 1887
on Via Pietrapiana, 48/r, the Brovelli
at first sold and repaired umbrellas.
Later he expanded the business to include
the trade of accessories, like luggage,
handbags and collars. The Second World
War brought on a wider range to offer
the customers a varied choice. But the
flood of 1966 damaged and hindered the
business and the Brovelli was restored
and re-structured with its original décor
using wood and moquette which gave it
its elegance and warmth. The year 2001
saw further renovation with innovative
materials and designs which brought into
focus the traditional architecture and
style of ancient times showcasing its
ceilings and arches of times gone by.
