1. Galleria Gagliardi
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 161 reviews
Galleria Gagliardi is an extremely important cultural reference, among the most complete for the permanent promotion and sale of contemporary art: painting and sculpture. Every work is always subject to a scrupulous selection process, with every piece chosen directly in the studios of the artists with whom we work, constantly encouraging them to perform research, renewing their approach, improving their skills in order to present works of the very highest quality.

I and my wife were on a recent Tauck tour of Italy and enjoyed the small town of San Gimignano. Much to my surprise I saw this unassuming Gallery and went in to see what was displayed. It was an excellent contemporary and modern showing of excellent French and Italian artists. I bought four works: Ceramic, Bronzes and an oil painting. The works were shipped extremely carefully and I could not be more please. If in San Gimignano it is a must see. Pat Rayes Dallas, Tx, USA

If you want a beautiful piece of artwork to remind you of that special Tuscany visit - this is the place to go!!! I have known Isabella for over 5 years now and she is the best. Her artwork is beautiful and will look amazing on your wall. You will easily pay 3x as much for artwork in other Tuscan cities that does not have the color and features that Isabella is able to produce. Go there! Buy something! You will not regret it!

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 43 reviews
The Padelletti family is one of the oldest familes in Montalcino and carries a tradition of wine culture across 25 generations since the 16th century. Our cellar is situated under a 15th century building in the very centre, along the historical walls of Montalcino. It is a small cellar which has remained unchanged throughout the centuries and is packed full of history. The wine making processes continue to follow the traditional methods used to make Brunello di Montalcino, a great wine internationally renowned. It is possible to arrange guided tours of the cellar and wine tastings (in Italian, French and fluent English) any day of the week between 10:00 and 19:00. It would be however better to make an appointment in advance.

As you walk up from Piazza del Duomo on the right towards the Rocca fortress, by the foot of the Cathedral bell tower, you will find a craftsman’s workshop where art, earth, music and passion blend together in magical harmony. Here, Franco and Esther welcome you into the world of ceramic art. They opened the shop in 1990 to showcase this fascinating ancient craft; you can watch Franco working at the potter’s wheel or Esther making charming clay animals.Open from March to November 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.

What a lovely find - a working potter in the centre of this historic town Franco and Esther’s work is beautiful and a visit to the workshop is recommended. I came away with an oil and vinegar set beautifully crafted and reasonably priced.
