| Biagio Aversa’s visible need to historicize himself as part of the art world is certainly positive … to give – not only from time to time, but instead with a certain frequency – proof of his work as an art dealer that relies on his past experience. He started this activity in 1959 with an incubation period…
ANGELO DRAGONE – “Proposte '90” – Italian Masters of the 1800s. AVERSA GALLERY Turin 1990
|
|
The AVERSA GALLERY was founded in 1963 by Biagio Aversa. Since 1973, the gallery has been located in the 18th century Piossasco di Rivalba building. The noble Piedmontese Piossasco family commissioned the architect Amedeo Galletti, who, in 1780, built onto and expanded a 17th century building that was built on the edge of a lot bordered by the Arcivescovado and Madonna degli Angeli lands; it was on the Santa Eufemia block, in the area that became part of Turin during its first expansion.
The AVERSA GALLERY is currently directed by Roberto Aversa, who is still helped by his father Biagio. It has attained solid prestige at the national level in Italian 1800s painting and the part of the 1900s that is still figurative.

Special attention is devoted to Piedmontese and Neopolitan painting, which was already well represented in Turinese collections during the second half of the 19th century. In fact, the gallery usually has the works of the most prestigious artists from that period – Fontanesi, Delleani, Avondo, Pittara and Reycend, as well as Irolli and Pratella from Naples and Alberto Pasini from Emilia Romagna. The AVERSA GALLERY dedicated a considerable exhibit/tribute to Pasini in 1986 and extensively collaborated on his general catalogue. The gallery’s rooms often display the most prominent names of 18th century Tuscan painting (the Macchiaioli, post-Macchiaioli and Labronic), Lombard-Venetian artists (Nono, Induno, Fragiacomo, Ciardi, etc.), as well as some of the best works of the 1900s art such as divisionism, for which Piedmont can boast some its best exponents.
The AVERSA GALLERY’s most important annual autumn exhibit is “PROPOSTE”, whose catalogues since 1990 are online. Important and significant works are on permanent display and are always available.
The AVERSA GALLERY also provides consulting services for evaluations or restoration of artwork, and expertise on artists such as Alberto Pasini, Tavernier, Pittara, Reycend, etc. The gallery buys works from private individuals or negotiates them, providing the best outcome.
