Galleria Arte e Arte
A contemporary gallery near Piazza Maggiore dedicated to twentieth-century masters and emerging international talent, operating since 1999.

Galleria Arte e Arte stands steps from Bologna’s historic Piazza Maggiore, offering a focused approach to modern art dealing. The gallery champions lesser-known artists of genuine talent alongside established twentieth-century figures, resisting mainstream market trends in favour of discovery and research.
History
Founded in 1999, the gallery entered the market with a deliberate counter-current philosophy. Rather than follow established preferences, its proprietors pursued original artists whose work deserved greater visibility. This commitment to research and identification of overlooked talent has defined its programme for over two decades.
What you see
The gallery occupies a space within Galleria Falcone e Borsellino, a historic arcade near the city centre. The setting allows for rotating exhibitions showcasing both Italian and international works across various media from the modern period onward.
Cultural significance
In Bologna’s vibrant art scene, Arte e Arte represents curatorial independence and scholarly rigour. By prioritising research over commercial certainty, the gallery has established itself as a venue where lesser-known twentieth-century masters and contemporary voices receive serious critical attention.
