Thaddaeus Ropac is set to open a new gallery at Palazzo Belgioioso in central Milan in autumn 2025, marking its seventh location. The gallery is scheduled to open in autumn 2025, with Elena Bonanno di Linguaglossa taking on the role of Executive Director, bringing over 25 years of experience in modern and contemporary art, with particular expertise in Italian and American art.
The new Milan branch will be located at Palazzo Belgioioso, near Teatro alla Scala and Via Monte Napoleone. The gallery will occupy 280 square meters across two grand rooms on the first floor of the historic building. Additionally, there will be a sculpture exhibition space in Piazza Belgioioso, adding a cultural dimension to this prominent public square.
Thaddaeus explained to Tae Art Man about “Why Milan?”
“Milan is at Europe’s crossroads, Italy the continent’s heartbeat, a country that profoundly shaped the evolution of art through the ages and where crucial modern art movements were conceived. We increasingly felt Italy was missing from our constellation of European galleries, since it has always been important to how we have grown internationally and to our artists’ development. Many have had groundbreaking institutional exhibitions, and now with our new gallery we can enable the first exhibitions in Italy for more of our artists.
We have fostered such meaningful relationships with collectors and institutions here over several decades, and with the momentum of Milan as a destination for the arts, it’s a natural home for us. Having the ideal team as well as the ideal location is essential, so we are absolutely delighted that Elena will be at the helm of our Milan gallery.”
The upcoming exhibitions to be presented, Thaddaeus Ropac Milan revealed that in the coming months, the gallery will host exhibitions and events across Milan with Thaddaeus’s artists. Starting in spring 2025, the gallery will launch with a special exhibition celebrating the 100th birthday of Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008), Milan’s Museo del Novecento will present an exhibition of groundbreaking works by the American artist. Juxtaposing his work with 20th-century masterpieces from the museum’s collection, the exhibition will create a dynamic dialogue between Rauschenberg’s innovative vision and the rich tapestry of Italian modern art.
