Vecchio e Nuovo is a timeless place where visitors can journey through different eras. The business was founded in the 1980s by Giuseppe Lauro, whose growing passion for antiques gradually involved his entire family: his wife Rosy and their three daughters, Denise, Jessica, and Karol. Today, Vecchio e Nuovo is a fully family-run business.
Vecchio e Nuovo specializes in antique objects made of stone, marble, and cast iron, offering an extensive collection of period fireplaces, doorways, gates, columns, statues, and outdoor furnishings, including gazebos, tables, chairs, benches, and fountains.
The items are carefully sourced from private collectors and historic villas in France, England, Northern Italy, and Tuscany, with the aim of discovering unique and hard-to-find pieces.
Vecchio e Nuovo has a particular passion for antique fireplaces, collecting fireplace surrounds from different periods, styles, sizes, and price ranges, crafted from stone, marble, wood, and cast iron. Its collection includes fireplaces recovered from magnificent historic villas in the Como area, accompanied by documentation and photographs that tell the story of their origins.
Upon request, Vecchio e Nuovo also creates custom-made fireplaces inspired by historical designs, using antique stone to reproduce the charm and character of traditional pieces.
