Galleria Continua opened in San Gimignano (Italy) in 1990, as the result of the initiative of three friends: Mario Cristiani, Lorenzo Fiaschi and Maurizio Rigillo. Occupying a former cinema, Galleria Continua established itself and thrived in an entirely unexpeced location, away from the big cities and the ultramodern urban centres, in a town – San Gimignano – steeped in history, timeless, magnificent. In 2004 Galleria Continua began a new adventure in Beijing, China, showing contemporary Western artists in an area where they are still little seen. Three years later, in 2007, Galleria Continua inaugurated a new peculiar site for large-scale creations – Les Moulins – in the Parisian countryside. In 2015 Galleria Continua embarks on new paths, opening a space in La Habana, Cuba, devoted to cultural projects designed to overcome every frontier.
