1970: the roots
in 1970, fausto bonvini formed the bonvini investigation agency. as a
former member of the italian army’s special forces, he profited from years
of experience and practical expertise. his discretion and integrity were
always highly valued by a growing number of clients: more often than not,
politicians and leading businessmen.
personal protection
and the arts
when a
wave of terrorism hit europe hard in the seventies and eighties, and
bloody attacks were the norm, not the exception, when terrorist groups
such as the red army faction, raf, the baader meinhof group or the italian
brigate rosse had their “peak”, the bonvini agency was in charge with the
personal protection of dr. paul sacher and his family, key shareholders of
the giant multinational pharmaceutical company hoffmann-la roche, based in
bâle, switzerland. the sacher family remains one of the most influential
art collectors in the world and bonvini met artists and art dealers of
international repute, while on assignment. the result of these
relationships was obvious: bonvini quickly became one of the most
sought-after experts for the retrieval of stolen art, the prosecution of
art fraud and other art related international assignments. naturally, this
expertise have remained a cornerstone in abi’s realm of special services
to this day.
