who we are
The owner, Mrs. Ann O’Connor Tempestini, was born and lived for 26 years in Australia. Apart from the passion that she shares with her husband for antiques and art, her main hobby is reproducing oil paintings – copies of Flemish still lifes and portraits of the C15th and C16th Italian period.
Mr. Tempestini has a Law degree but has always worked in textiles. His main hobbies are searching for antique furniture (of which he is a discreet connaisseur) antique books, materials and paintings.
The passion for antique materials is such that the owners have taken up a comercial activity dealing with construction of a new house or the restoral of an old one, using obviously recuparated material. Exclusive material which has come from demolition of antique villas, palaces, castles, farmhouses, churches etc. This material ranges from roofing with typical Tuscan cotto, to stones for externals, stone for doorways, arches etc. as well as diverse pavings in cotto, in stone or wood of various dimensions and measurements.
