Sergio Casoli Returns to Rome with New Gallery After 17 Years

Legendary Italian gallerist Sergio Casoli reopens in Rome after 17 years, partnering with 32-year-old collector Mattia De Luca. The new space, located at Palazzo Albertoni Spinola in Piazza Campitelli 2, spans 220 square meters with two exhibition rooms. It opens on April 7, 2018, with a retrospective of Francesco Lo Savio (1935-1963), featuring works from 1958, including the 'Spazio-Luce' series and two 'Articolazioni Totali' pieces. Casoli previously closed his Milan gallery in 2001, leaving it to Giangaleazzo Visconti, who turned it into a successful space. During his hiatus, Casoli ran a hotel and restaurant on Filicudi with Maurizio Cattelan (until 2012) and curated a Marcel Duchamp exhibition in Genoa in 2006. The new gallery will focus on modern and Italian art, with Casoli and De Luca sharing duties.
