Our story begins with Vittorio Cudia, a visionary founder, and continues today with Rosanna Leardini and Andrea Cudia.<\/h4>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47bce6c elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"47bce6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/arte-orientale.com\/en\/shop\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"bb19cefa-da70-4c4e-8494-ad25bbd47839\" data-name=\"Layer 1\" width=\"32.9204\" height=\"17.832\" viewBox=\"0 0 32.9204 17.832\"><polygon points=\"31.858 8.055 31.858 8.016 31.817 8.016 23.417 0 22.036 1.447 28.931 8.026 0 8.026 0.007 10.026 28.928 10.026 22.048 16.361 23.404 17.832 32.92 9.069 31.858 8.055\"><\/polygon><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Shop Now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-042948a elementor-align-center elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"042948a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/arte-orientale.com\/en\/esplora-continenti\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"bb19cefa-da70-4c4e-8494-ad25bbd47839\" data-name=\"Layer 1\" width=\"32.9204\" height=\"17.832\" viewBox=\"0 0 32.9204 17.832\"><polygon points=\"31.858 8.055 31.858 8.016 31.817 8.016 23.417 0 22.036 1.447 28.931 8.026 0 8.026 0.007 10.026 28.928 10.026 22.048 16.361 23.404 17.832 32.92 9.069 31.858 8.055\"><\/polygon><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Explore<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a238dd9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5a238dd9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_scale_effect&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_scale_direction&quot;:&quot;in-out&quot;,&quot;background_motion_fx_scale_range&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:{&quot;start&quot;:0,&quot;end&quot;:50}},&quot;background_motion_fx_scale_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:4,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;background_motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
