IL NEGOZIO ARABA FENICE DI MASSIMO BONINO

 Massimo Bonino started his activity in restoring antique pieces in 1977 in Turin (Piemonte) in one of the most important Antique Shops, Artisan Workshop owned by Mr Giuseppe Primerano.

He worked very hard to have as much experience as possible to open up his own restoring workshop in 1982 in Lucca (Tuscany); succeding in his work he hired other 7 workers to work with him.

In 1990 he opened up an Antique Shop in Via Pesciatina in Lucca, about 2 km from the city centre.

The shop is called “ARABA FENICE”, our shop is one of the biggest in Lucca.

It is furnished with : mirrors, furniture, bronze, chinas, candleholders, chandeliers, paintings, prints, watercolors, ceramics, English Old Sheffields, clocks, fireplaces, carpets, glasses and several particular objects in very good taste.

We take monthly trips to the most important European Antique Fairs ( Lione, Montpellier, Avignone, Parigi etc).

Moreover Mr Bonino often goes to Holland, France and Belgium to buy antiques pieces and also attends important Fairs, as well as the Auctions held in Italy.
