An apartment on the first floor of a 1930s building, with intriguing views under the portici, was our first gallery, which in the span of a few years hosted 22 exhibitions. 2016 was the year of the move, still in the MAMbo zone, but although we relocated just 200 meters away, many things changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much larger exhibition spaces, a staff that rapidly grew to the present roster of 8 people, and a program that has developed over time. While at the outset we focused above all on artists already active in the 1960s and 1970s who had developed a solid personal language but were still not widely known, later we also inserted many artists from more recent generations, always with particular regard for Italian talents, which constitute about 50% of our program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
