Arte Orientale Bologna: a passion for research and ethical antiques

We are Arte Orientale Bologna, a family-run business that has been passionately dedicated to researching and selecting antique ethnic jewellery and rare items since 1999. Our story begins with Vittorio Cudia, a visionary founder, and continues today with Rosanna Leardini and Andrea Cudia.

Our headquarters, located at Via Alfredo Testoni 1/E, is not just a shop, but the culmination of an adventure. Every piece in our collection is the result of travel, in-depth study and a profound understanding of the cultures from which they originate. We are dedicated to discovering not only the object itself, but also its context, the customs and traditions of the peoples who created it.

This approach allows us to offer a unique collection ranging from oriental antiques to antique jewellery from regions such as North Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East. In addition to sales, we are always looking for new stories and enthusiastically acquire private collections of oriental antiques, ethnic jewellery and antique classics.
