The galleria d’arte ottonovecento opens in 1999 in Laveno Mombello on the east side of lake maggiore.
Since the start it focused its attention on the italian art of the beginning of XX sec.
It partecipates to numerous antique fairs like Modena antiquaria and Gotha. In the meantime it hosts every years at least three exihibitions of artists of the beginning of XX sec. Like G. Montanari, O. Albertini, D. De Bernardi; editing for each a catalogue.
In 2014 the direction of the gallery decides to extent its range on contemporary artists focusing on abstract artists of ’50 and ’60 years like M. Rho, M. Radice; as well as opening its collection range to strictly contemporary artists like A.Pedretti, D.Spoerri and A.Accardi.
