Biennale to smooth export process


THE Biennale Internationale Dell’Antiquariato di Firenze (Florence Biennale), one of the world’s longest standing antique fairs, holds its 27th staging next month from October 1-9. Held in the Palazzo Corsini, its home


since 1997, and organised by Expo Arte e Cultura, the fair remains a mainstay for the top end of the Italian trade, who account for 74 for the 88 exhibitors drawn from across Italy’s big antique dealing cities: Milan, Rome, Bologna and the host city. Of the 14 foreign exhibitors standing this year, the UK fields six participants all of them returnees: picture dealers Derek Johns, Whitfield Fine Art, and Piacenti Art Gallery; Trinity Fine Art (paintings and sculpture), plus picture dealers Moretti Fine Art and Robilant and Voena, with bases in London and Italy. Two Parisians: Les Enluminaires


(illuminated manuscripts) and Galerie Canesso (Old Masters) are among the 13 new names standing this time around. The fair carries a mix of classic

categories: antique furniture, works of art and sculpture, but paintings, especially Old Masters, are much to the fore. Not surprisingly, some exhibitors are


capitalising on the location by bringing Florentine subjects by Florentine artists or a combination of the two. For example, Bacarelli Antichita of Florence will be showing Giuseppi Zocchi’s (1717-67) view of the Royal Villa of Cafaggiolo, while a book of Zocchi engravings of Florence’s streets, squares, palaces and churches is being brought by Longari Arte of Milan. Simone Romano e Figli of Florence will be showing a watercolour, pencil, pen and ink study of an Allegory of the City of Florence by Pietro Antonio Novelli (1729-1804), while Robilant and Voena will be taking a pair of Florentine vedute by the Exeter-born painter Thomas Patch (1725-1782): a View of the Arno with the Santa Trinita Bridge and View of the Piazzo della Signoria, that have been in a German collection since the 1920s. Furniture will include an imposing pair of typical North Italian, Lombard 17th

century tables in carved walnut with tops of Verona marble that will be on the stand of Milan’s Piva et Cie. As anyone familiar with the Italian


art market knows, one of its main disadvantages is the strictness of the export laws that prevents much of Italian origin going out of the country. Mindful of this, the fair has two committees, one appointed by the Florence Exports Office and the other by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage, to expedite paperwork and bureaucracy. On September 28, they will examine the works for which exhibitors have requested a certificate of free circulation and will give a definitive decision about whether or not they can be exported on the same day. www.biennaleantiquariato.it
