“Iguarnieri, creates contemporary art in Florence, working as the Old Masters used to, which means: “at the traditional studio”. My brother and I along other artist and collaborators we create artworks with antique techniques and modern approach, for the art lovers as well as ourselves. For those whom love and appreciate Italian art and beauty with high quality standars.

The history, the culture, the experience from our past and our loves, Giotto’s Bottega, Botticelli’s damsels, Modigliani’s nude, Picasso’s Portraits, Andy Warhol and The Factory, the Turner’s atmosphere, transforming and becoming contemporary art. It all began in 2000 with our first exhibition of fresco paintings made in the studio while we continues our jobs of forniture and interior architecture.

Since then, for 21 years now, we have worked in small and large operas all over Italy and abroad also by private patron commission, which have received favorable approval and confirmation. We have also participated in several painting and sculpture competitions, with our winning operas now permanently displayed in institutional places in Italy and abroad.

Our creative perception is to represent artistic themes in the humanity around us, with a Florentine influence. The old’s master’s work is the foundation always of our making art in painting as in sculpture.”

I stumbled upon this marvelous studio while walking in Florence with my wife and daughter. I just wanted to take a peak but Roberto’s magnetic and warm personality lured me in so my wife had to go to the park by herself.

I wasn’t expecting to find a real artist inside. Because most art studio don’t have one. But by the first words, I could see that Roberto speak his own words, had his own wisdom and talked from his heart in ways that I haven’t heard before but made perfect sense.

He was thinking, acting and creating outside of rules, concepts, schools, teachers, currents. I felt an immense respect and appreciation for him. You could see that his art was diverse, bold, unrestricted, following his personal curiosity and certain patterns that proved to be a winning formula. It takes guts, freedom and immense self trust to be able to do that. For me that’s what a true artist does. It reminded me of Picasso.

He served me and a couple who was there with a glass of wine just for the sake of connection, conversation and pure enjoyment of the present moment and life. And I also got another valuable lesson when he challenged me to draw two circles, one with my dominant right hand and watching very carefully and the other one with my left hand with my eyes closed. To my surprise, the circle I did with my left hand was 95% accurate compared to the other one.

It was a powerful reminder about how important is to trust and give ourselves permission to act “imperfectly” with courage and faith.

I recommend Iguarnieri, Roberto and their works to anybody who loves art and pure self expression.

Hope to see the gallery again one day and buy...

We wish we could give Roberto and the team MORE than 5 STARS.

We arrived to the gallery late on Saturday night, and found that the gallery was closed. As other reviewer suggested, we called the phone number on the door and Roberto answered and promised to be there in 5 minutes to open the gallery just for us on a Saturday night!

After walking into the gallery, we could immediately notice the incredible pieces of art, but even more so, the warming, modest, welcoming personality of Roberto. He greeted us to the gallery and let us explore as you would want to explore in a art gallery. No rush, no pressure to buy, what we felt was his thankfulness for appreciating his work.

After sometime at the galley, my wife and I fell in love with 2 of the paintings. We decided to purchase 1 large piece, but felt we can’t miss the opportunity to own 2 paintings of the artists. Roberto made a fair offer for us to buy the 2nd painting, and as other suggested in the reviews, we purchased 2 paintings to take back to our home in NYC.

We left our shipping information, a credit card number for billing the shipping costs, and left thinking how great it is to own paintings of Roberto and the team, but even more so, how lucky we were to meet Roberto.

About 4 weeks later, we received the painting in NYC. The painting were packed professionally, clean, and they even put hanging rings for us.

We could not imagine a better memory from our visit in...
