Bicicletta Dannata
Paolo Boggiani is an italian artisan who gives a new life to old bycicle using parts of different models to create new unique pieces with a timeless charm.
"The history of the elements that make up each Bicicletta Dannata is what forges its soul. The memory of the times and the people who lived them is transmitted by imperfections, dents and rust, elements that here change paradigm, from negative character they take on the value of testimony, therefore of value. These are the foundations for the creation of vehicles that tell the heroic story of the Italy of the past, but also of the protagonists who will tell that of the future. Each Dannata is born from the recovery of these historical means brought back to life through processes of selection and restoration of components, whose combinations redesign the shapes of evolved cycles but with an intact spirit. The challenge of Bicicletta Dannata is to give new life to this heritage of romanticism and timeless technology, renewing it and bringing it back to our roads."
