History of Piombini Furniture: Wood, Design, and Craft Passion for 100 Years

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 2

The first furniture shops in Bovolone. (Circa 1930s-40s)

Among the people from Bovolone who learned the art of furniture making in Asparetto from Giuseppe Merlin, we remember Mario Carmagnani, Giuseppe Perazzani, Mario Pettene called Coco, Tullio Vedovelli called Napa, Giuseppe Masaia, Giobatta Pantano, Remo Guarnieri called Tamao, Giuseppe Padovani called Braghin. Already in 1930, Pantano, along with Padovani, Carmagnani, and the seventeen-year-old Liberale Vaccari called Lale, who was already a student of Grella, opened their own workshop in Bovolone; in '34 the group disbanded and Vaccari partnered with Gino Veronesi (called Muci), who had also attended Merlin's workshop but later, like Leonello (Nelo) Vicentini: in that workshop worked Giglio Mariotto (S'cinco), Raffaello Morellato, and Vittore Novarini. Later, Pantano, as a young apprentice of Antonio Grella, opened a workshop at Persegarol which was then continued by his sons, Padovani set up a workshop at Madonna with Novarini and a certain Peroni, while the aforementioned Guarnieri later ran a tobacco shop and then opened a hardware store in Verona. Some of the aforementioned also worked, for some time, at the largest workshop with the most employees, even before the war, that of Nello Vicentini (initially a partner of Giuseppe Olfi) at Casella, which had among its workers Severino Cantiero, Giuseppe (Вері) Mirandola, and other excellent carpenters; at Vicentini's also worked the mentioned Vedovelli, who became an expert polisher, and Veronesi, who later went independent to build white curved furniture. They built chairs in the style of Gino Sargenti, the aforementioned Perazzani, and Vittorino Carmagnani..

“I found the item I was looking for on the website and then called the company for more information. From the first contact, everyone was helpful and courteous.

“I've come to appreciate not only the quality and beauty of the furniture, but above all the care and professionalism this furniture company shows its customers even years after a purchase. From the very beginning, Loris from customer service was extremely helpful, attentive and professional, recommending the best solution to my problem. Despite the distance of approximately 700 km, he personally went out of his way to find a qualified installer in my area, showing a level of helpfulness and customer care that is far from guaranteed. I was extremely satisfied with the work carried out by the company he recommended, who were highly professional, precise and knowledgeable. I can therefore say with great satisfaction that the quality and professionalism of the Piombini brand, alongside the beauty and craftsmanship of its furniture, go well beyond the initial purchase: you continue to receive care and support even years later. Well done to the entire team and, in particular, to Loris for his professionalism and helpfulness. Highly recommended! 👏”

“Artisan craftsmanship and impeccable customer service I'm extremely happy with my purchase: I chose the Tiziano chest of drawers in the distressed antique two-tone butter finish. The quality of the wood is evident, and the 5 drawers, embellished with beautiful geometric inlays, make it a true work of art that brings warmth to the bathroom. Delivery was on time and the packaging was impact-resistant. Special thanks to architect Emanuela for her impeccable assistance. Buying from Piombini is a sure thing, and I can't wait to make my next purchase!”
