Enrico Todi, in the 1950s, frequented the shop of his uncle Guglielmo Magnani, from first copper beater and then gilder, making it his seat as a collector, merchant, and art promoter. Then, in the 1970s, he created a cenacle of art in Via Vittoria, a meeting point for friends, artists and collectors. In 1974, with his daughter Tiziana, Enrico Todi transformed this living room into a real contemporary art gallery, the Galleria Vittoria. The first exhibition was by Pericle Fazzini, author of the large bronze sculpture depicting the Resurrection of Christ (1977) which is located in the Sala Nervi in ??the Vatican.
Continuing the exhibition program, the Vittoria Gallery has organized numerous exhibitions dedicated to the major Italian and foreign artists, from the historical avant-gardes to the experiences of the 50s and 60s and the 90s such as Marcello Avenali, Niki Berlinguer, Enzo Brunori, Corrado Cagli, Mario Ceroli, Man Ray, Umberto Mastroianni, Mirko, Luigi Montanarini, Primo Conti, Salvador Dalì, Giorgio de Chirico, Mauro Reggiani Xanti Schawinskij, Sandro Trotti, Valeriano Trubbiani, Andy Warhol, Cesare Zavattini, Enrico Baj, Salvatore Fiume, Giulio Turcato, Pericle Fazzini, together with emerging artists: Antonio Fiore, Claudio Spada, Lino Casadei, Fabio Piscopo, Anna Saegesser-Pavone, Enzo Fabbiano, Massimo Baistrocchi.
In 1976 Enrico and Tiziana Todi take over the shop of their uncle Guglielmo and move to 103 in Via Margutta.
The Vittoria Gallery alternates the promotion of young artists and former students of the Academy of Fine Arts with collateral activities and exhibitions of historical masters. The singular characteristic of this historic gallery is the search for a human relationship between gallery owner and artist, where conventionality is lost and becomes active collaboration, synergy, comparison, absolutely non-formal, which leads to active cooperation in promotional initiatives and above all to trust each other. All this allows to obtain mutual advantages in terms of visibility towards the world of culture and towards the public. This is how this policy leads to mutually identifying one another, traveling together by mutual agreement on a journey into the world of art, where anything can happen, and where these conditions create infinite opportunities. In the promotional field, Galleria Vittoria has traveled for a long time, crossed distant borders, approaching realities and cultures that are sometimes similar, sometimes opposite to ours.
It is simply like this from Tokyo, where in 1989 Enrico and Tiziana Todi accompanied Umberto Mastroianni to collect the Imperial Prize, in New York, Shanghai, Paris, London, Strasbourg, flying in the sky of Art from a at the other end of the world they reach today, where still, parallel to the exhibition activity of the Gallery, they organize cultural events in collaboration with public and private bodies in Italy and abroad, promoting editorial and non-editorial initiatives that range from touching every form of Art.
In this regard, the Vittoria Gallery, in collaboration with other cultural associations, in particular those of Via Margutta, carries out promotional activities for the dissemination of art at 360 °, engaging in projects that enhance art, wherever it is.
An example of these is the "Shopping-Bag-Art" which combines the recovery of shopping bags with the creation of new works of art, thus enhancing the simplicity of a daily gesture and modifying its use.
In any case, in this ancient workshop, today the historic Galleria Vittoria, which in 2006 celebrated 100 years of activity, Art is lived, breathed, renewed, nourished, tasted and mixed between the ancient and the modern. , thrilling.
