From the late 70's Ethnoarte Gallery (founded by Mr. Gianfranco Rossi) has dealt in Southeast Asian art, Indian and Buddhist sculpture, ethnic jewelery and ritual art. The Gallery has become one of the most specialized places in Italy and very well-known worldwide among collectors, thanks to the refined selection of pieces and considerable exhibitions on ancient Asian culture and ethnography. Collecting antique art, says Gianfranco Rossi, is like being a lover, to which he adds: and with my life partner Elisabetta Parmegiani we managed to find the fine line between high quality curation and in-depth appreciation of Asian art.
