After over thirty years of experience and eighteen years after the foundation of the Galerie Canesso in Paris, Maurizio Canesso has opened in Lugano, in the heart of the city’s historic centre, in 2012 the second branch of his long established art gallery. Specialized in Old Master Paintings from the Renaissance to the beginning of the 19th century, mainly Italian artists, or foreign artist who worked in Italy, the Lugano gallery continues the tradition of quality, seriousness, and meticulous research in Ticino: the ideal meeting point, where long-established historical, cultural and artistic ties between Nothern Italy and Switzerland are renewed. The gallery intends to accompany and assist collectors in their artistic choices by blending culture, the art market and a passion for art.
