Bartolucci toy shop

On our way to The Pantheon, we passed by a toy store with a wooden Pinocchio sitting outside in a bench. We became curious and so we investigated inside. :) During that time, I didn't know yet that the store was indeed famous and that's the downside of not reading the travel guide in advance. :( Few month after coming back from home, I made a little research about the store, and there I knew that Bartolucci is indeed sooo famous,:)

Here's a little history of the famous toy store:

The firm Bartolucci started the enterprise producing accordions in 1936 . Four brothers worked there: Leopoldo, Ernesto, Silvio and Matteo Bartolucci.
After different productions (furniture, old fashioned furniture...), in 1981 Francesco, Chiara and Annamaria, Matteo's son and two daughters started the present production of wooden ware. It is more than 60 years that three generations of Bartolucci's family are united by a common passion: the art of working wood.
An evolution of style and personality respecting tradition.

Bartolucci toy store is very unique because all their products are made of woods. I was really amazed because it was there that I saw a big motorcycle toy that's completely made of wood, including the wheels. So amazing! I even bought some souvenir items there for my niece and the child of my hostfamily in Denmark. I even bought something for myself,:)

Here are some photos taken from the famous Bartolucci toy store:
