Mission

Ottocento.it is a virtual place where collectors passionate about artistic practices developed through the centuries up until now, meet each other. Born as an online shop window of the gallery founded in 1997 by Alessio Ponti in the hearth of the inner city of Rome, the website has become, along the last years, a reference point for collectors, academics and people simply interested in Italian art. The platform, constantly updated, proposes every month new artworks – paintings, sculptures, graphic works, photographs – showed in the section dedicated to the recent acquisitions. The experience and the competence acquired not only with the artworks, different for dating and technical executions, buying and selling, often with important Italian museums, but also with the series of exhibitions staged in the spaces of the gallery since 2001, embody a high quality brand of artworks proposed. The web surfing on Ottocento.it let users verify our interests’ variety, focused on the research of unpublished artworks, coming from private collections, examples of an Italian art which has maintained its allure intact over the centuries.
