Galleria Poggiali

Founded in 2016 as a continuation of the Galleria Poggiali e Forconi established in 1984 in Florence, Galleria Poggiali focuses on established contemporary artists like Enzo Cucchi, Luigi Ontani, and Gilberto Zorio, while also exploring the work of figures such as Eliseo Mattiacci, Claudio Parmiggiani, Erwin Wurm, and Arnulf Rainer. The gallery's commitment to fostering culture, debate, and exploration locally serves as a springboard for global engagement, often prompting artists to engage with Italy for the first time, resulting in the presentation of new works, performances, and installations. Projects are developed collaboratively with artists and frequently extend to museum partnerships, leading to specially curated exhibitions accompanied by extensive publications. While the Florence gallery focuses on historicized artists, the Milan space, opened in 2018, showcases emerging talents, providing a platform for those who have garnered international recognition to debut in Italy. The Pietrasanta location, situated within a former renowned art foundry, serves as a hub for cultural production, fostering social interaction and celebrating the region's heritage. Retaining the site's historical significance underscores the belief in art's capacity to catalyze ideas, aiming to forge unexpected connections and evoke unique emotions, thus revitalizing cultural production and social engagement.
