Milan, Robertaebasta gallery opens a new location in Via Fiori Chiari

New opening for Robertaebasta galleries, an international reference point for 20th century decorative arts for over fifty years: they proudly announce the opening of a new location in the heart of Milan’s Brera district. Roberta Tagliavini and Mattia Martinelli, after the success of the London and New York offices, have chosen to invest again in the Italian capital of design, enhancing a place of great historical significance: via Fiori Chiari 16.

This address is not a random choice. In 1962, Piero Manzoni opened his studio there, transforming the courtyard that now houses the new gallery into a crossroads for art and design in 1960s Milan. As Nanda Vigo recalled, “In the evening we used to go to 16 Via Fiori Chiari, in Brera, to Piero (Manzoni), with Lucio (Fontana), Enrico (Castellani) and the others.”

The new exhibition space is spread over two levels, overlooking a splendid interior courtyard full of greenery. The building, originally a 19th-century workshop house and once also accessible via a navigable canal, has been upgraded with the inclusion of unique details. The iron parapet of the interior staircase depicts the acceleration of a racing greyhound, while the marble flooring on the second floor is adorned with “Pontian”-inspired bronze inserts depicting the zodiac signs.

Robertaebasta’s collection, known for its layering, heterogeneity and ability to surprise, finds in this new space a container that fully reflects its character. The new location at 16 Fiori Chiari Street is not only a tribute to the Brera district’s glorious past, but also a celebration of its continuous evolution as an epicenter of art and design. With this opening, Robertaebasta further strengthens its presence in Milan, continuing to promote and enhance the decorative arts of the 20th century in a context that combines tradition and innovation.
