Cenzi Sculptural ArtGallery: A Journey of Passion and Discovery​​

Cenzi Sculptural ArtGallery, officially founded in 2022, emerged from three years of dedicated experience in the international sculptural art market. The gallery's foundation is rooted in a lifelong passion for antiques, which, despite having no family ties to the field, felt like a natural calling for the founder.

The specific focus on sculpture within the realm of antiques was a serendipitous discovery. It began about three years prior to the gallery's official launch when the founder acquired a dusty bust of a young lady at a flea market for just a few euros, initially for simple home furnishing. This chance purchase led to the revelation that it was carved from a single block of white statuary Carrara marble over two centuries ago. This profound experience ignited a deep dive into studying materials, sculptors, and artworks, transforming a simple hobby into a full-fledged enterprise.
