Magazzino Italian Art mourns the loss of Mario Pieroni, a pioneering Italian gallerist who shaped the history of Contemporary Italian Art. He championed artists like Getulio Alviani, Ettore Spalletti, and Jannis Kounellis, and his initiatives transformed Pescara into a vibrant art hub. Our Co-Founders, Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu, remember him as a dear friend and key figure in developing their collection. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and all who were touched by his extraordinary life. Grazie Mario, you will always be in our hearts!

Magazzino Italian Art piange la scomparsa di Mario Pieroni, gallerista italiano pionieristico che ha contribuito a plasmare la storia dell’arte contemporanea italiana. Ha sostenuto artisti come Getulio Alviani, Ettore Spalletti e Jannis Kounellis, e con le sue iniziative ha trasformato Pescara in un vivace polo artistico.
I nostri co-fondatori, Nancy Olnick e Giorgio Spanu, lo ricordano come un caro amico e una figura fondamentale nella formazione della loro collezione.
Esprimiamo le nostre più sentite condoglianze alla sua famiglia e a tutti coloro che hanno avuto il privilegio di conoscerlo e di essere toccati dalla sua straordinaria vita.

Grazie, Mario. Sarai per sempre nei nostri cuori!

At Magazzino Italian Art, we are committed to fostering research, education, and meaningful dialogue around Italian contemporary art. We were delighted to welcome students from Fordham University’s Modern Italy and the Arts course, taught by Professor Kathleen LaPenta, and to hear their insightful presentations on Arte Povera masterpieces—all delivered in excellent Italian!

Experiences like these reflect the importance of connecting students with the artworks, ideas, and histories that shape our understanding of Arte Povera. We look forward to welcoming you back and hearing all about your hands-on mail art experiment once it finds its way back to your department!

Grazie mille to Professor LaPenta and all the students for such an engaging visit. We look forward to continuing this shared journey of discovery and learning.

We are proud to announce that Magazzino Italian Art’s documentary Yoichi Ohira: Japan in Murano, directed by Domenico Palma, has been officially selected for the 2026 edition of Artecinema, the International Festival of Films on Contemporary Art in Naples, Italy.

Founded in 1996, Artecinema is an internationally recognized festival presenting a carefully curated selection of documentaries on contemporary art, architecture, design, and photography from around the world.

Yoichi Ohira: Japan in Murano offers an intimate journey into the artist’s world, where Japanese sensibility meets the centuries-old glassmaking tradition of Murano. The film features insights from Nancy Olnick and Nicola Lucchi, alongside master glass artisans Livio Serena, Giacomo Barbini, Andrea Zilio, and Renzo Ferro, interviewed by Francesca Giubilei.

We are honored to be part of this year’s program, bringing Magazzino’s commitment to documenting and sharing remarkable artistic stories to an international audience.

Join us today, October 10, at 6:30 PM, for the screening at Teatro Augusteo in Naples.

Art in bloom

This past weekend, floral artist and author Lindsey Taylor joined us at Magazzino for a workshop exploring her unique way of looking at art and translating what she sees into flowers.

After breakfast and a visit to the galleries, participants took inspiration from Alighiero Boetti’s Tutto, using its colors, patterns, and energy as a starting point for their own floral arrangements.

Flowers gathered from Magazzino’s grounds were mixed with herbs, greenery, and a colorful selection of blooms to create arrangements inspired by the work.

Thank you to Lindsey and everyone who joined us for a morning of art, flowers, and creativity.

Taking place throughout the weekend, the fair brings together an exceptional constellation of exhibitors and an expansive selection of artists’ books, publications, ephemera, and other printed matter. A wonderful occasion to discover, explore, and follow your curiosity.

We hope to see you there.
