The works of art come from 63 important Italian and international galleries, which will present works of high historical and artistic value in a setting conceived as a true "cultural salon," where the value of discussion, research, and knowledge will be at the heart of the exhibition, which features masterpieces both well-known to art history and yet unpublished. Alongside painting and sculpture, ample space will also be dedicated to the decorative arts, reflecting Italy's great tradition of antiquarianism.
Organized by the Association of Italian Antique Dealers
The event confirms its status as a cultural and commercial event of international standing, aiming to position Rome at the forefront of the European antiques scene, offering scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts an exhibition brimming with surprising curiosities and never-before-seen works. It will also provide an opportunity for initial discussions within the sector following the government's decision to reduce the VAT rate on sales and imports of works of art in Italy from 22% to 5%.
Inaugural gala for 600 guests
A packed program of events will complement the exhibition, from the exclusive opening gala dinner (reserved for approximately 600 guests, including collectors, museum directors, and institutional figures), to the invitation-only preview, and the opening to the public from September 20th to 23rd, from 11.00:20.30 a.m. to 18.00:23 p.m. (early closing at XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. on September XNUMXrd).
