Fondantico di Tiziana Sassoli

Emilian Old Masters

Since 1992 Fondantico has been dealing with Italian and mostly Bolognese Old Masters, setting shows featuring painters such as Guido Reni, Giuseppe Maria Crespi, Michele Desubleo, Annibale Carracci, Guido Cagnacci, Sisto Badalocchi, Lucio Massari, Lavinia Fontana, Mauro, Ubaldo and Gaetano Gandolfi. The remarkable attention to the quality, historic provenance and condition of the paintings, as well as the scholarly catalogues issued in collaboration with art historians, endorse the Gallery's work with Italian and international museums; its reputation has been built exactly on these rigorous standards by which the paintings are selected. Fondantico holds regular Old Masters Paintings exhibitions with catalogues that stimulate art historical discussion and bring light to new areas of connoisseurship. Tiziana Sassoli usually takes part at the major art fairs, such as Tefaf and Biennale Internazionale dell’Antiquariato di Firenze and Roma, by which she maintains continuous connection with institutions, collectors and museums. Fondantico has sold pieces to US and European museums, including among others the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Ireland, the Museo degli Uffizi in Florence, the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California and recently the Galleria Borghese in Rome, whose acquisition from Fondantico of Guido Reni's "Country Dance", formerly owned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, has reincorporated it into the history of the original collection.
The gallery will be holding for Tefaf 2025 a special project dedicated to 17th-Century Italian paintings.
