Dear Smokers...
This a little story of my pipes.
I begin since 1967 to fix the pipes on my tobacco shop infront of the railroad station of my city Bologna and then on the 1974 I begin to make
pipes really,because this think comes into me.
Before with my father's name(Artebano in his honor)till to 1978 and after with my name Bonfiglioli Alberto.
These are the symbols years per years:
C 1974 with my father's name Artebano
D 1975 " "
E 1976 " "
G 1978 " "
On 1977 was an year of reflection
H 1979 With my name Bonfiglioli Alberto
I 1980 " "
