Galleria anna d’ascanio was founded in 1975 in Rome in the famous Via del Babuino near Piazza del Popolo. The main focus of the gallery programme lies on the avantgarde movements of the first decades of the 20th century and the artistic movements of the Fifties and Sixties. A considerable attention is also dedicated to contemporary artists.
The most important events in the last years are a series of 5 group shows representing 20 young Italian artists and the one-man-shows of Giulio Turcato, Mario Giacomelli and Spanish artist Juan Hernàndez Pijuan. Particularly to Giulio Turcato is dedicated intense research work in order to emphasize in Italy and internationally his role as one of the most important Italian artists of the second half of the 20th century. With a series of exhibitions and catalogues focusing on inedited and rare works the Gallery wants to retrace the fundamental developments of his artistic career.
With the aim to promote the Italian art in Italy and abroad the gallery participates continually at the Italian and international art fairs like Bologna, Basel, Cologne, Frankfort, Madrid, Tokyo.
