At a glance
Dello Scudo Gallery specializes in modern and contemporary art, with particular focus on major Italian artists of the early twentieth century. The gallery has organized rigorous, scientifically significant exhibitions that have engaged both critics and the public through unprecedented curatorial approaches.
History
Founded in 1968, Dello Scudo has built its reputation through collaboration with public institutions and museums. The gallery has mounted major retrospectives and thematic exhibitions featuring canonical figures of Italian modernism and the European avant-garde, many curated in partnership with prestigious collections including the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice and international venues.
What you see
The gallery space functions as an exhibition venue for painting, sculpture, and mixed media works. Its program spans from De Chirico and Savinio to Boccioni, Marino Marini, Morandi, and Alberto Burri, presenting works across drawing, sculpture, and experimental materials.
Cultural significance
Dello Scudo has played a vital role in scholarly reassessment of twentieth-century Italian art. Several exhibitions have achieved international reach: the 1991–92 Boccioni show was later presented at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York; the 1997–98 Morandi exhibition traveled to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. The gallery’s research-driven approach has contributed to art-historical discourse on Futurism, Metaphysical painting, and post-war abstraction.
