Galleria Continua was founded in San Gimignano (Italy) in 1990 by three friends: Mario Cristiani, Lorenzo Fiaschi, and Maurizio Rigillo. Occupying a former cinema, Galleria Continua established itself and thrived in an entirely unexpected location, away from the big cities and the ultramodern urban centers, in a town\u2014San Gimignano\u2014steeped in history. This choice of location provided scope for the development of new forms of dialogue between unexpected geographies: rural and industrial, local and global, art from the past and the art of today, famous artists and emerging ones. Remaining faithful to a spirit of perpetual evolution, Galleria Continua has created a strong identity grounded in two values\u2014generosity and altruism\u2014which lie at the heart of its relationship with artists and the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project carried out by the gallery has developed over the course of 34 years and today has 8 locations on 5 continents. Galleria Continua was the first foreign gallery with an international program to open in China in 2004, and then, after three years, to inaugurate a new space in Les Moulins, in the Parisian countryside, used for major interventions and exhibitions. In 2015, the gallery embarked on a further journey in Havana, Cuba, with the aim of transcending all types of borders. In 2020, the gallery opened a new exhibition venue in Rome, inside The St. Regis Rome Hotel, as well as one in Brazil, Galleria Continua S\u00e3o Paulo, located within the Pacaembu sports complex with an inclusive space, far from the canon of the “white cube.” In 2021, the gallery arrived in the heart of Paris, in the Marais district, where it is possible to visit exhibitions and buy food and wine products from all of the Galleria Continua locations. Also in 2021, the gallery opened a new space in Dubai at the Burj al-Arab, the iconic sail-shaped building located off Jumeirah beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
