Benvenuto has been invited to an exclusive
viewing of the Valeria Bella Gallery in the
centre of Milan.
The gallery was founded by the eponymous
Valeria Bella—a pioneering woman in the
art dealing world, a formidable and inspiring
woman who built her own business in a city
which, while enjoying an economic boom, was
still socially very conservative.
Since 1964, the gallery has been dealing
with fine prints—
old master,
modern and
contemporary—in
both the national
and international
markets. In 2008
a department
of vintage and
contemporary
photography was
added at the behest
of Valeria’s son,
Michele Bella.
An accomplished
photographer and
now the gallery
manager, Michele
is delighted to welcome Benvenuto members
for an aperitivo and introduce them to the
gallery and its incredible collection.
The main criterion adopted by the
gallery in selecting the works on offer—
from renowned artists to lesser-known
authors—is quality. Every print and
photograph is carefully studied and
comes with a certificate guaranteeing its
authenticity.
The gallery also publishes important
illustrated catalogues and is a reference point
for collectors and scholars.
