ABOUT

Leonardo Marchi was born in Florence in 1988 and was introduced at an early age to the world of modern and contemporary art by his parents, active collectors, who founded the ArmandaGori Art Gallery in 1998.

He studied Business Economics at the University of Florence, followed by studies at the IED (European Institute of Design) in Art Management, also taking part in the MUS.E program of the Florentine Civic Museums at the Palazzo Vecchio museum during the period of the Jackson Pollock retrospective. After that, he participated in the Art Business program organized by Sotheby’s Auction House Institute of Art in London.

While attending school, he was always active, collaborating in his family's gallery, curating exhibitions and, in particular, devoting his attention to the organizational aspects, organizing events, preparing catalogues and advertising material. Later he became a full-fledged member of the staff of the gallery, specializing in analysis of the contemporary art market and in curating and organizing public and private exhibitions, also managing the gallery's participation in Contemporary Art fairs throughout Italy.

At his suggestion, the ArmandaGoriArte gallery opened a new branch in the town of Pietrasanta, renowned for its ties to the art world. He has been in charge of all the events there since 2014. In recent years he has broadened his focus to the sector of investments and portfolio diversification in the field of contemporary art, initiating an independent activity as an Art Dealer and attending all the main international art fairs, also performing the activity of Art Consultant for the many collectors with whom he has established relations.
