Galleria dell\u2019Oca in Rome began as an art and design bookshop near Piazza del Popolo. Founded by Luisa Laureati<\/strong>, it grew into a gallery where artists, writers, critics, and collectors could meet. From its beginnings in the mid-1960s until 2008, its exhibitions reflected Laureati\u2019s interest in both the art of her own time and the Italian masters of the early twentieth century<\/p>\n

From bookshop to gallery<\/h2>\n

In 1964, Laureati rented a space at 41 Via dell\u2019Oca<\/strong>, following a suggestion from Franco Angeli. The bookshop that took shape there specialized in art, architecture, and design. Close to Piazza del Popolo, it soon became a place for conversation as well as reading.<\/p>\n

The first exhibition, held in 1967, was devoted to Gastone Novelli\u2019s I viaggi di Brek<\/em>. A presentation of graphic works by Giulio Paolini<\/strong> followed in February 1968. These early shows marked the bookshop\u2019s gradual development into an exhibition space.<\/p>\n
