Galleria Ca’ d’Oro, one of Rome’s best known contemporary art galleries, is located in Piazza di Spagna overlooking the Spanish steps. It was established in 1970 by Antonio Porcella, son of Amadore Porcella, one of the most important art critics of the period and the grandson of Alpinolo Porcella, personal friend of great Italian Masters such as Filippo de Pisis and Giorgio de Chirico. Antonio Porcella is a current member of the de Chirico Foundation in Rome. Today—four generations later—Gloria Porcella leads the gallery. Raised in Rome, Gloria studied at San Diego State University and has since devoted her life to art, working with Italy’s Environmental Minister and holding responsibility for the Cultural Commission and the Culture Center for the city of Rome. Over the years, Gloria has organized a great many exhibitions including a tribute to Pope John Paul II celebrating the 25th anniversary of his papacy with the Madonna in Contemporary Art at the European Parliament in Brussels and the Pantheon in Rome; and the sensational first installation of the REgeneration Art Project in Syracuse, Italy during the G8 Environmental Summit. Gloria is the curator in Europe for the art of Giorgio de Chirico and with her business partner Lamberto Petrecca, and Architect Silvia Zamarion, she has put together important exhibitions in Italy and in the United States, including Omaggio a de Chirico in New York, Los Angeles and Miami, which had sponsorship of the UN and patronage of Italian and foreign Institutions. In December 2010, during ArtBasel Miami, the Galleria Ca' d'Oro Miami opened its doors at 135 San Lorenzo Avenue in Coral Gables with the placement of the unforgettable pink snails, extending the REgeneration
Today the gallery continues to bring its experience and expertise to the US, promoting Italian and European art with passion and enthusiasm.
