Romano Bongiovanni opened the Bongiovanni Art Gallery in the prestigious Galleria Viscardi in Viale Ceccarini, Riccione, in 1969. The Gallery maintained its summer premises for over 25 years, launching the painter Osvaldo Curandai to national and international success. During the same period important exhibitions were organised in equally prestigious settings in major Italian cities (Palazzo Reale in Milan, Galleria Monelli in Florence - Italy's oldest art gallery - Galleria Sant'Andrea in Parma, Palazzo Re Enzo in Bologna and on no fewer than three occasions in the Grand Hotel Baglioni, again in Bologna, in the magnificent DOMENICHINO, TORREGGIANI, VIGNOLA and EUROPA rooms, Palazzo Pedrocchi in Padua …); they culminated in the exploit of 1996 when the works of four painters - OSVALDO CURANDAI , GIOVANNI PINI , CARMELO PUZZOLO and ALVARO - were exhibited at the British Embassy in Washington D.C. under the patronage of Lord Kerr, ambassador of the Court of St. James. A familiar presence in newspapers and on television, the Bongiovanni Gallery is distinguished by its style - contemporary and classic, but receptive to the constant changes in the art world.
It may proudly boast a highly interesting, varied assortment of artists, some of whom are presently exhibiting in an associated gallery in Washington. Complete profiles are of course available for each artist. In 1990 Paola Bongiovanni opened the main gallery in Bologna, in the old Galleria Aquaderni, whose first stone was laid in the 16th century. It is right in the heart of the city, opposite the two towers, and the interior is completely adorned with frescoes dating from that time. Our Gallery has eight display windows overlooking an inner courtyard and each year it organises exhibitions and takes part in art shows.
