Galleria d'Arte Maggiore was founded in 1978 by Franco and Roberta Calarota as a permanent collection of international prestige composed of works by the major artists of the twentieth century. In 2001 Alessia Calarota, daughter of the founders, takes over in the direction of the gallery, bringing an innovative approach and showing how modern art has influenced contemporary art.
Galleria d'Arte Maggiore cooperates with some of the most important museums in the world and takes part regularly in the major international art fairs.
