Passionate about fine modern and contemporary painting and sculpture, I searched throughout Florence for working artists and a gallery that could rightly shine amidst the Renaissance glories of Florence. The afternoon I spent with the Guarnieri brothers, Roberto and Rodolfo, will be forever etched among my life's great and genuine joys. They were most generous with their time, attention, spirit and interest in my own philosophy of art and life. Their work represents the essence of refined taste and whimsical perspective. The grand painting I now proudly hang in my home each day refreshes the insights, humility, cleverness and joy of my appreciation and respect for the Guarnieris and their artistry.

If you’re touring Italy and looking to buy some art to remember your trip, this is an excellent place to consider. Sometimes it’s difficult to know whether or not you’re being ripped off or buying something of poor quality. Scarpelli is a reputable brand and high quality art.
