About

The love for art was transmitted to me by my father, gallery owner and collector of Old Masters, Modern and Contemporary art.

As a collector, his research focused of Italian still life paintings, little known and appreciated at the time, probably for its simplicity and archaicity as opposed to the rich and sumptuous Dutch and Flemish one.

Thanks to him today the Italian still life paintings are known and appreciated all over the world.

With him I had the honor of sharing the passion for art in all its forms and eras.

As a gallery owner His teaching has always been: “always and only interested in quality, better a minor painter but of great impact, than a famous and important painter but of less quality” and I have always put this into practice.

I think that the aesthetic value of a work lies in the content, the work must capture the attention and must excite, through the pictorial expression of the brush, the material, the genius, the shapes, the colors and the harmony of the composition. .

When there are emotions then there is everything and we are on the right path.

I have never bought a work for a mere choice of the market, I have always satisfied my personal taste, it has always been my personal choice.

This is my way of proposing art, it is my personal choice, actually the most difficult, I have never bought a work for a mere choice of the market, I have always satisfied my personal taste.

Satisfaction comes when you find someone who shares the choices made.
