Italian Novecento standouts include Antonio Donghi's 'Trattoria' (1930, €40,000–60,000), exhibited at the XVIII Venice Biennale, and Giacomo Balla's 'Ritratto della Marchesa de Nobili' (1910, €30,000–50,000) from his pre-Futurist phase. The sculpture section marks the secondary market debut of Jago (Jacopo Cardillo) with 'Cuore n20' (€25,000–40,000), a glazed ceramic from his 'Apparato Circolatorio' series.
