ITALICS is the first consortium in Italy to bring together over sixty of the main galleries of contemporary, modern and ancient art throughout Italy. It was established in 2020 based on an idea of Lorenzo Fiaschi (GALLERIA CONTINUA) and Pepi Marchetti Franchi (Gagosian).
The aim behind ITALICS is to develop new approaches to the cultural and human encounter between art lovers and others, creating projects that embrace the Italian cultural and landscape heritage in itineraries of art and rediscovery, characterized by a multidisciplinary approach and forming deep relationships with the territory.
Around the intuition of recounting Italy and its extraordinary uniqueness through the eyes of the gallerists, a working group was formed. It includes Alfonso Artiaco, Ludovica Barbieri (Massimo De Carlo), Massimo Di Carlo (Galleria dello Scudo), Francesca Kaufmann (kaufmann repetto), Massimo Minini, Franco Noero and Carlo Orsi. Encouraged by the desire to build a widespread national network based on collaboration and sharing experiences, the nine gallerists invited other galleries throughout the Peninsula and its islands to take part in the project, including some of the most established national and international galleries, as well as newer and more experimental realities. Today, ITALICS is an extremely dynamic organism in continuous evolution.
In September 2021, the ideas, inspirations and commitment of the Consortium transported to the island of Procida (NA), the Italian Capital of Culture 2022, the first edition, curated by Vincenzo de Bellis, of the island-wide exhibition “Panorama”: the special story that ITALICS dedicates periodically to some of the most extraordinary places in the Italian landscape, building timeless itineraries.
