Some of you may have heard about the "Chicken Man", he makes and restores furniture. And he is very good at it. Why is he called the chicken man? What I heard is that when his Dad owned the business he had chickens that he let roam around the warehouse, so sometimes when you opened a drawer there would be an egg or two in it. (There are no longer chickens roaming).
Basically you walk into this big warehouse and you can look around. A lot of it is unfinished so if you find something you like you can choose your finish. He has a "special room" where you can choose from all kinds of beautiful inlays, including the 173rd crest.
If you are looking for a nice piece of wood furniture or have something that needs restored, he's your man. His website is: www.bizzottosilvano.it
He is open weekdays (regular Italian business hours) and weekends only by appointment.
The address is:
Via Salute, 137
Rossano Veneto 36028
To make an appointment or for questions call 0424.540061 or email chicken@bizzottosilvano.it
Definitely know the chicken man and have eaten lunch at his home with his wife a couple times. Ermmano (Sp?) is awesome! My house is full of his work. I miss Italia so much and hope to one day go back. I often wonder how he and his wife and, as far as I know, 2 kids are doing.
