Here, the focus is on sophisticated, unexpected work by Italian painters you might not otherwise see on this side of the Atlantic. Even if the artists hail from Brooklyn (not Italy), the work still feels like it could have been dreamed up inside an old palazzo or a sprawling aristocratic apartment in Rome or Florence. We like to imagine the paintings we see here inside super ornate Baroque-style frames. Preferably gold ones.

Tommaso Rositani Suckert and Caio Twombly, two friends who grew up together in Rome, founded this space in Florence during COVID in 2021. The pair moved the gallery into the legendary punk and new wave bar CBGBs on the Bowery in 2022. They have since been joined by experienced NYC gallerists Garrett Goldsmith and Jacob Hyman. In 2025, they opened a second space in Freeman’s Alley, right around the corner from the New Museum.
