Founded in 2022, AcquistoArte presents itself as a platform specializing in valuation,market analysis, andsupport for buying and selling 19th- and 20th-centuryItalian works of art. The initiative was created with the aim of offering collectors, owners and enthusiasts a reliable tool to navigate a complex market, allowing them to operate in an informed manner thanks to detailed data and analysis. The platform is managed by professionals based operationally in Rome, who have more than 30 years of consolidated experience in the art sector. AcquistoArte’s expertise spans several areas: from the analysis of quotations to the appraisal of works, up to complete consultancy for sale and purchase transactions. All services are offered both digitally and physically, with coverage throughout the country, and are aimed primarily at those who wish to understand the economic and cultural value of their works in the Italian context.
The platform stems from a professional background gained in the art sector over several generations. The interest in collecting and the enhancement of Italy’s artistic heritage is rooted in the founders’ family history. Giovanni Ponti, mayor of Venice and commissioner of the Biennale in the early 20th century, as well as minister for Tourism, Sports and Entertainment, contributed to the dissemination of Italian artistic culture through institutional initiatives and exhibition spaces. Later, Giorgio Ponti, a Rai journalist, continued this tradition by focusing on ancient art. In 1997 Alessio Ponti founded his own gallery in the historic center of Rome, at 8-9 Via di Monserrato, a few steps from Piazza Farnese, specializing in 19th- and 20th-century Italian painting and sculpture. In a short time the gallery has become a major player in the Roman art market. Over the years it has developed skills that have contributed to the birth of the AcquistoArte project as a platform to support the evaluation and market analysis of works.
AcquistoArte covers all major art techniques: pictorial, such as oil, tempera, pastel, and watercolor, and sculptural, including marble, terracotta, bronze, wax, and plaster. PurchaseArte’s analysis covers the main Italian currents between the 19th and 20th centuries: from Divisionism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Symbolism to the experiences of the Return to Order and Magical Realism, the Roman School, and the avant-garde and post-World War II movements such as Pop Art, Conceptual Art, Informal Abstractionism, Arte Povera, Spatialism, and Kinetic Art. Transparency, professionalism and confidentiality represent the fundamental principles of the service, values guaranteed by the figure of Alessio Ponti, an art appraiser for the Court of Rome, who applies his thirty years of knowledge to the accurate evaluation of the works presented. Among the services offered, AcquistoArte offers a free online evaluation of works, based on the analysis of documentary and photographic material. The initiative is aimed at works of any era and type, as long as they can be traced back to the Italian cultural and figurative context. The platform integrates long-standing experience and constant monitoring of sales results. The AcquistoArte catalog includes a wide range of 19th- and 20th-century Italian artists, selected for their art-historical significance or for their importance in the market. Each author has a dedicated page containing information on current quotations, biography, artistic production, and critical analysis. The comprehensive catalog of artists covers over one hundred years of Italian artistic production, from figures such as Francesco Hayez, Giovanni Fattori, Giorgio De Chirico, and Umberto Boccioni to the masters of the second half of the 20th century. For each artist, the platform provides quotations and an analysis related to life, works, and artistic production.
The quotations offered represent indicative ranges, determined through the experience of AcquistoArte professionals and the study of auction results in recent years. These are indicative values: each work is unique and may lie above or below these ranges, depending on specific characteristics. To understand the value of a painting or sculpture, AcquistoArte recommends that you always consult experts in the field (the platform provides a free valuation service). This will help receive a more precise analysis. An automatic search bar provides quick access to artist pages by entering the painter’s or sculptor’s name, while a manual search by letters allows you to scroll alphabetically through the complete list of 19th- and 20th-century protagonists. The intent is to orient users in the Italian art market and help those who wish to learn more about an author. The valuation service considers the characteristics of the work, such as quality, size, technique, and subject, as well as more general factors, including the market dynamics of the author or the artistic current to which it belongs. In addition, AcquistoArte is very attentive to confidentiality: all information received from clients is treated with the utmost professionalism and discretion, recognizing trust as a central element of the relationship between platform and users.
