Dario Raia - Restorer specializing in Cultural Heritage
Each piece you find here has been personally selected, evaluated and � where necessary � restored.
Who I am
I started in 2002 in an antiques shop, learning to understand a piece of furniture before I even knew how to restore it. Seven years later, I graduated in Diagnostics and Restoration of Cultural Heritage from the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples.
Each piece in the catalog was found, appraised, and�where necessary�restored by me personally. The principle that guides every intervention is the minimum necessary: respect the memory of the piece, do not alter it.
