Only selected objects in Bonny's stall

Francesco Bonetti, alias Bonny, is another interesting character that I found along Navigli's outdoor market. Here, he was sitting on one of his stylish chair and chatting with a friend about their passion: collecting 20th-century art and products.

Twenty years ago, this interest started as an amusement for Bonny. That's why he has given no order to his stall. Only his distinguishing taste rules the wonderful vintage clothes, bags and furnite sold here. What he particularly loves is furniture of Gio Ponti and Sarfatti's lamps.

A lot of person are bond to Bonny's stall. Despite the economic crisis, customers always visit him and ask him for his exclusive products. Although he makes all the efforts to satisfy them, sometimes he finds it difficult because their requests are rare.

Unfortunately, high-selected and genuine objects are getting difficult to find out in the attic full of know-off ones.
