The Galleria Carlo Virgilio opened over thirty years ago in 1979 with the show Disegni romani di figura (1800-1870)<\/em>, pioneering a revival in neoclassical and academy drawings in Italy. From those early days over one hundred catalogues have been printed for our Via della Lupa premises, relating both to exhibitions held here and to the many single acquisitions made over the years.<\/p>\n The gallery has always taken particular pride in the academic research that goes into its publications, even in times when scientifically researched catalogues were somewhat of a rarity in the antiques market. It is thanks to the collaborations we have cultivated with established experts such as Anna Ottani Cavina, Marisa Volpi, Italo Faldi, Maurizio Fagiolo Dell\u2019Arco, Jean Clair, Roberta J. M. Olson, Christoph Luitpold Frommel, Fernando Mazzocca, Orietta Rossi Pinelli, Mario Quesada, Marina Miraglia, Joseph J. Rishel, Nicola Spinosa, Emilie Beck Saiello, Alvar Gonz\u00e1lez-Palacios, Elisabeth Kieven, Giovanna Capitelli, Luisa Martorelli, Francesco Leone, Giuseppe Porzio, Steffi Roettgen, Liliana Barroero and Renzo Mangili \u2013 to name but a few \u2013 that our catalogues have earned appreciation as a reliable reference by both historians and collectors.<\/p>\n After beginning with a very specialized interest in late 18th to early 20th century drawing, the gallery reached out to painting and sculpture, mostly the works by Italian and foreign artists active in Italy between 18th and 19th century, also extending its chronological horizons to include the 17th Century and exhibitions of contemporary art.<\/p>\n Since the 2000s Carlo Virgilio forged a partnership with Stefano Grandesso, known for his studies on 19th century European sculpture. Among his many achievements, Grandesso has cooperated to the three major shows devoted to Antonio Canova at Milan\u2019s Palazzo Reale, Villa Borghese in Rome and the Musei di San Domenico in Forl\u00ec, edited together with Fernando Mazzocca and Francesco Leone. He has also edited two important monographs devoted to Pietro Tenerani and Bertel Thorvaldsen, in 2015 also available in English. Grandesso has given a more specialized and academic slant to the gallery\u2019s activities, which now caters for private collectors as well as for those operating in the public and institutional spheres.<\/p>\n Among the gallery\u2019s recent and most noteworthy collaborations in this sense, we are proud to list the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino, the Reggia in Caserta, the Mus\u00e9e du Louvre, the Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Arm\u00e9e in Paris, the Gallerie dell\u2019Accademia in Venice, Rome\u2019s Galleria Nazionale d\u2019Arte Moderna, the Mus\u00e9e de la R\u00e9volution in Vizille, Fondazione Roma, the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi in Lucca, the Art Institute in Chicago, the Wolfsonian-Fiu in Miami, the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, the Liechtenstein Museum in Vienna, the Berkeley Art Museum, CA.<\/p>\n The gallery has a photographic archive of roughly ten thousand negatives, which is available for consultation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”CONTACTS” title_align=”separator_align_left” color=”custom” accent_color=”#284d5c”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text 0=””]Tel.<\/strong> +39 06 6871093 OPENING HOURS<\/strong> [vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][vc_single_image image=”501″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text 0=””] The Galleria Carlo Virgilio opened over thirty years ago in 1979 with the show Disegni romani di figura (1800-1870), pioneering a revival in neoclassical and academy drawings in Italy.
