In conversation with Norma Mangione, Norma Mangione Gallery

What is the biggest challenge that you will have to face?

I think that there will always be a need for art. The daily challenge is to be able to continue doing this work.

What is the value for contemporary society of art on display in galleries? What is the role of the gallerist in Italy today?

We offer cultural content that anyone who wants to can access.

What is your background?

I am the daughter of an artist, and so I was involved with this world even as a young girl. Then I worked as a curator and in independent art publishing.

When did you open your gallery?

In 2009.

Talk to us about the space you chose for your gallery and its location.

The gallery is in an old building in the middle of Turin, on the river.

“Do you have any unrealised projects?”

Many.
