The Malenotti family has been involved in restoring and selling furniture and antiques since 1941. The name of the shop, Piumaccio d'Oro, is due to the nickname with which the founder Emilio Malenotti was known, who opened the shop about eighty years ago.

This nickname comes from the skill with which Emilio used the feathers, or the tool to polish furniture. Emilio was also a painter who loved to paint and represent popular stories and characters from the "Oltrarno" district. An edition of the book "Pinocchio" with illustrations by Emilio and other artists is exhibited at the MoMA in New York.
The restoration workshop is located today in Borgo San Frediano, the main street of the homonymous and famous neighbourhood.
The artisan tradition has been handed down for four generations and remains a unique activity in Florence, so much that it has earned the certificate of "Florentine historical store"
All the furnishings of the B&B San Pier Novello come from the Piumaccio d'Oro and we will be happy to welcome our guests in the workshop to show them our work.
