Founding and specialization<\/h2><\/div>

The historic Longari arte Milano gallery was opened by Nella Longari, with her sons Mario and Ruggero, at the beginning of the 1950s on via Bigli, in the very center of Milan. In 2019, the premises moved to Palazzo Cicogna at Corso Monforte 23, just a stone’s throw from the Duomo. The gallery’s historical-artistic research focus has always been primitive Italian sculpture; this activity has expanded over the last few decades with an interest in European sculpture production, illuminated fragments, and art objects from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries.\u2028Longari arte Milano has always been present at the most important national exhibitions, among which the Florence Biennale stands out; in recent years it has also been busy abroad. In particular, the recent participation at TEFAF Maastricht has been an occasion for increasingly different and attentive experiences, so as to broaden the gaze to every need in international collecting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

LONGARI arte MILANO and its historical-artistic heritage<\/h2><\/div>

The works selected by the Gallery have been variously loaned to cultural exhibitions, both in Italy and abroad, thereby also highlighting the importance of constant activity in favor of studies and enhancement of the historical-artistic heritage. Over the years, there have also been various sales to national and international institutions and museums.\u2028In the 1970s, the Holy See acquired a group of medieval wooden sculptures, which can still be admired today in Vatican churches and properties. Acquisitions by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, date to a more recent period.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
