Mazzoleni gallery opens branch in Milan: here's the new gallery on Senato Street

Historic Mazzoleni Gallery announces the opening of a new location in Milan, which will strengthen the international presence of one of Italy’s leading commercial galleries. The new space joins the original location in Turin and the one in London located in the heart of Mayfair. The new Milanese gallery will be located at 20 Via Senato, in the Quadrilatero della Moda, thus in one of the city’s most culturally vibrant and elegant neighborhoods, not far from some of Milan’s leading art and cultural institutions. The official ribbon cutting is scheduled for the fall, but already during the summer it will be possible to visit the space by appointment. The public will be able to discover a temporary installation that traces the gallery’s most recent decade, its last ten years of activity: a narrative built through publications, exhibitions, art-historical research and projects that have characterized Mazzoleni’s cultural and curatorial commitment at the international level, from editorial collaborations to exhibition projects that have brought Italian art into international contexts.

The opening of the Milan office comes at a particularly fertile time for the city. Milan, which has always been a gravitational center for artists, collectors and gallery owners, has witnessed in recent years the opening of numerous independent galleries and spaces, which have increasingly transformed the Lombard capital into one of Europe’s art capitals. Mazzoleni therefore arrives with its presence in this scenario.

Mazzoleni is happy to announce the opening of a new space in Milan, joining the historic location in Turin and the London location in Mayfair. Located at 20 Via Senato, in one of the city’s most culturally vibrant and elegant areas, the gallery will officially open in the fall. It will be open by appointment during the summer, with a layout that tells the gallery’s most recent history, a path built through the publications and exhibitions that have marked Mazzoleni’s last decade, with a focus on the art-historical research that has sustained its cultural activity at the international level. The new space will host a main exhibition area and a private room reserved for collectors. The program of exhibitions and events will reflect a curatorial vision that intends to dialogue with the city’s vibrant cultural fabric, with Italian and international visitors, and with a young and cosmopolitan audience. Mazzoleni is delighted to announce the opening of a new venue in Milan, joining the historic venue in Turin and the London venue in Mayfair. Located at 20 Via Senato, in one of the city’s most culturally vibrant and elegant areas, the new gallery will officially open in the fall. It will be open by appointment during the summer, with an installation that tells the gallery’s most recent history, a path built through the publications and exhibitions that have marked Mazzoleni’s last decade, with a focus on the art-historical research that has sustained its cultural activity at the international level. Milan, which has always been home to galleries and artists, has seen a significant increase in new exhibition spaces in recent years, further cementing its reputation as a cultural capital not only in Italy but internationally. Mazzoleni stands at the center of this dynamic evolution, helping to strengthen its position in the art system and to better support the artists followed by the gallery. The new Milan headquarters will be located at 20 Via Senato, in one of the city’s most historically and culturally significant areas. Via Senato runs along the ancient inner circle of the Navigli. Even today the area retains an urban fabric rich in buildings of historical and architectural value. A few steps from the gallery are some of the most symbolic places of Milanese culture: the Palazzo del Senato, now home to the State Archives of Milan; the Biblioteca di via Senato, which hosts exhibitions, events and an evocative 18th-century garden; Villa Necchi Campiglio; and the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens, which house the Galleria d’Arte Moderna at Villa Belgiojoso, a masterpiece of Neoclassicism, and the PAC - Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, among the main exhibition spaces dedicated to contemporary art in the city. The gallery also fits into a lively and prestigious context, adjacent to the Quadrilatero della Moda and Via della Spiga. The intertwining of cultural institutions, museums, exhibition spaces and commercial activities makes this area a natural meeting point for an international, sophisticated and dynamic audience. The new space will host a main exhibition area and a private room reserved for collectors. The program of exhibitions and events will be built with a curatorial vision that intends to dialogue with the city’s vibrant cultural fabric, international visitors, and a young, cosmopolitan audience. Milan is configured as a stimulating context in which to experiment with new exhibition modes.

Via Senato represents a strategic and symbolic choice. The area, which runs along the ancient route of the Inner Circle of the Navigli, is rich in history and charm. In its surroundings are relevant places of Milanese culture: the Palazzo del Senato, now home to the State Archives of Milan; the Via Senato Library, a reference point for events and exhibitions; the splendid FAI’s Villa Necchi Campiglio; and also the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens, which house the Galleria d’Arte Moderna and the PAC - Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, one of the most active institutions in the promotion of contemporary art. The decision to open in Via Senato is not just a matter of logistics, but a sort of declaration of intent: to settle in an area where history is intertwined with contemporaneity, where artistic heritage coexists with research and experimentation, where culture meets design, fashion, and publishing.

The new Mazzoleni venue will consist of a main exhibition area and a private room designed for collectors. This dual approach allows the gallery to play a dual role: on the one hand, as an open space, capable of intercepting the general public and stimulating an expanded cultural dialogue; on the other hand, as a reserved place for meeting and discussion with collectors and professionals.

The program of exhibitions and events will be built, the gallery announces, with a clear curatorial vision that intends to interact with the city’s vibrant cultural fabric and address an international, young, cosmopolitan audience. The goal is ambitious but precise: to contribute actively to Milan’s cultural life, offering high-quality exhibition projects and proposing new ways of enjoyment and participation.

Founded in Turin in the 1950s, the Mazzoleni gallery has been able to evolve over time, holding firm to its references-particularly topostwar Italian art, with a focus on Analytical Painting, Informalism and Spatialism-but gradually opening up to new languages and new artistic generations. In London, the Mayfair location has allowed the gallery to dialogue with the Anglo-Saxon public and forge international relationships with collectors, curators and museums. In Milan, the intention is to further strengthen this network, also thanks to the physical and symbolic proximity to the country’s main art institutions.

“This space,” says Davide Mazzoleni, owner, “represents for us the fulfillment of a long cultivated desire. Milan has always been part of our path, with projects, exhibitions and collaborations that have allowed us to create deep ties with collectors, curators and artists. The opening on Via Senato comes at the right time, in the right place. It is not just a new location: it is an invitation, a space to inhabit together.”

“Milan,” Luigi Maazzoleni echoes him, “is a city that has always embodied vibrancy, elegance and the spirit of change: values that are also fundamental to the art world. Our vision is based on tradition, but is strongly projected toward the future, as demonstrated by the program of the Old Bond Street space in London, which is attentive to the selection of works and the curatorship of projects.”
