The Galleria Moretti opened in 1999 in Florence and immediately distinguished itself for specializing in Late Italian painting, in particular Tuscan gold ground painting up to the 17th century. With spaces in London and New York, the gallery is present at the most prestigious art and antique fairs in Europe and the United States. However, incursions into the world of contemporary and modern art are nothing new: in October 2007, the gallery in London hosted the first British monographic exhibition by the photographer Luigi Ghirri, while in June 2008, the young Italian artist Nicola Villa was presented in an exhibition entitled “Walking in the City�; in the same month, the Florence gallery opened the exhibition “La scultura incontra la realtà� by the American sculptress Carole Feuerman.
