Umberto Giacometti founded Giacometti Old Master Paintings in 2014. Thanks to a vast and widely acknowledged experience in the international art market, the gallery he oversees is regularly asked to take part in the most prestigious art fairs, such as TEFAF Maastricht, TEFAF New York, Paris Tableau, Munich Highlights, the Florence and Rome International Biennial Antiques Fairs and Flashback Turin. Searching for rare and paramount artworks, constantly exchanging ideas with experts, curators, collectors and enthusiasts, lies at the core of the business. In the new venues in Rome and Naples paintings, drawings and sculptures from the 16th to the beginning of the 20th century will be exhibited involving new generations though specific professional training and digital communication projects.
