Aria Art Gallery opened in 2007 in Pietrasanta, a Tuscan town famous for its marble and bronze processing; it is one of the residences chosen by the greatest ancient and contemporary sculptors. The spirit of this place, deeply linked to the material, leaves an enduring mark in the choice of the artists represented. The gallery moved its main location to Florence in 2009, to a magical place only a few steps from Ponte Vecchio: an ancient courtyard with a botanical garden dating back to 1534. Here, the antique tropical garden leads to the modern early 20th century exhibition space, allowing the gallery to settle into the center of the “Renaissance” city and its memories, creating a link between historical and contemporary times.

The ethos of Aria Art Gallery is deeply rooted in the vision of our founder, Elio d’Anna, a philosopher, author, and cultural pioneer. His philosophy emphasizes the power of dreams and the belief in art as a transformative force, which inspires everything we do at the gallery. Elio’s leadership and cultural foundation shape the gallery’s mission to bridge past and present, tradition and innovation, while offering a platform for both established and emerging artists.
