Francesca Antonini Gallery Celebrates 60 Years at Palazzo delle Esposizioni

On October 2, 2024, at 5 PM, Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome will host an event marking the 60th anniversary of the Francesca Antonini Arte Contemporanea gallery. Founded in 1964 by Angelica Savinio, daughter of artist Alberto Savinio, as Il Segno on Via di Capo le Case, the gallery originally collaborated with international stars like Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Alberto Burri, Fausto Melotti, and Lucio Fontana. In 2014, coinciding with its 50th anniversary, it rebranded as Francesca Antonini Arte Contemporanea, shifting focus to emerging Italian artists such as Guglielmo Castelli, Simone Cametti, Marco Eusepi, and Francesco Casati. The upcoming gathering will feature collectors, curators, and artists sharing anecdotes and memories, including collector Franco Bernabé, artists Gregorio Botta and Simone Cametti, and curators Ludovico Pratesi and Paola Ugolini.
