Established by Italian art collectors Giovanni and Anna Pia Mazzoleni in 1986, Mazzoleni is a long-established gallery based in London and Turin. Mazzoleni specialises in museum-quality exhibitions of post-war Italian art—from Futurism and Surrealism to Arte Povera—alongside the work of prominent Italian and international contemporary artists. 
Now headed by Luigi and Davide Mazzoleni, the gallery and its programme originally evolved from the private collection of Giovanni and Anna Pia started in the 1950s. Since opening more than three decades ago, Mazzoleni has held solo and group exhibitions of over 200 major Italian and international artists whose practices collectively span the 20th century and beyond. 
Working closely with various foundations and artists’ estates, Mazzoleni has held exhibitions featuring big names such as Hans Hartung, Giorgio de Chirico, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni and Joseph Kosuth that are on par with the curation of institutional public programmes. Contributing to the critical literature and discourse on their artists, Mazzoleni pairs its exhibitions with illustrated artist monographs filled with expert contributions and new research. 
The original Mazzoleni gallery established in Turin occupies three floors of the historical Palazzo Panizza. It is an ornate late-17th-century building overlooking the Piazza Solferino at the heart of Turin. Since 2014 Mazzoleni has also operated a London outpost on Albemarle Street in Mayfair, a short distance from the Royal Academy of Arts. In its inaugural exhibition in London, Post-War Italian Masters (2014), the gallery provided a broad survey spanning almost an entire century.
