| The
Galleria Ronchini Arte Contemporanea opened in 1992 with the
original goal of creating an exhibition space where works by art historical
artists could co-habit with those by young artists belonging to the
international vanguards.
It was not by chance that the first solo and group
exhibitions were motivated by the need to introduce to the general
public both the work by artists considered contemporary classics
and young artists who, in that moment, represented the idea of innovation
in the field of visual arts.
Therefore the choice was focused on the display of
Minimal and Conceptual works of art such as Daniel Buren, Joseph
Kosuth, Frank Stella as well as of the Italian Arte Povera by artists
such as Alighiero Boetti, Michelangelo Pistoletto, together with
the young artists of the so-called New Futurism. During the mid
1990s the artistic choice of the gallery was directed towards the
Figurative Italian Art with various exhibitions devoted to the artists
of the so-called "New Roman School" - Piero Pizzi Cannella,
Nunzio, Gianni Dessì, Giuseppe Gallo- and with solo exhibitions
of other artists of the 80s and 90s such as Giuseppe Maraniello,
Pietro Gilardi, Sergio Fermariello and Paolo Serra.

Much attention was dedicated to the Austrian Art
with the exhibitions of works by representatives of the Viennese
Actionism like Hermann Nitsch.
Furthermore, in the last few years, a space has been
destined to photography and to young artists such as Alex Pinna,
Lucio and Peppe Perone and Corrado Zeni, whose works are present
in private collections as well as in national and international
public ones .
The gallery published various catalogues in collaboration
with art critics such as Achille Bonito Oliva, Luca Beatrice, Maurizio
Sciaccaluga, Demetrio Paparoni, Manuela Annibali, Alessandra Galletta,
Lorenzo Mango, etc.
The Galleria Ronchini Arte Contemporanea regularly
participates in the various contemporary art fairs such as Bologna
and Milan where it displays, following its philosophy, important
representatives of contemporary art as well as young talented artists.
