The Italian Cultural Institute in Hong Kong, spearheaded by director Stefano Fossati, is delighted to organise and present ITALIANS, a collective booth of 8 leading Italian galleries, at Art Basel Hong Kong 2021, running from May 21 to May 23 2021, with preview days on May 19 and 20, 2021. The initiative comes as a strong institutional support for Italian businesses, particularly in the arts, amidst the global pandemic. It also introduces Italian Style, a larger initiative to celebrate Italian art, design, and fashion.

Eight of the most important Italian galleries, all regular attendees of the fair, joined the project: Alfonso Artiaco from Naples; Cardi Gallery from Milan; Galleria Continua with venues in San Gimignano, Beijing, Boissy-le-Châtel, Havana, Paris, Rome and São Paulo; MASSIMODECARLO with branches in Milan, Hong Kong, London and Paris; Galleria Maggiore g.a.m from Bologna; Galleria Franco Noero from Turin; Mazzoleni with locations in Turin and London; and Rossi & Rossi, with headquarters in Hong Kong and London.
