The Galleria Fallani is a family-run Roman company in the art trade .

The Galleria Fallani was founded in Rome in 1872 by Oreste Fallani . The family has been running a shop in Via Babuino 58 A since the 1920s . From the 1950s until his death, Oreste Fallani's nephew, the son of his brother Renato Fallani, the art historian Giorgio Fallani (born October 3, 1921 , † July 9, 1994 in Rome ) ran the business. After his death, his son Carlo Maria Fallani, who had already worked for the company in 1969, took over management. The operators of Galleria Fallani are among the respected and honest representatives of the international art trade and maintain relationships all over the world. In Germany, for example, they had business relationships with the Archaeological Institute of Heidelberg University and the antique collection of the Martin von Wagner Museum in Würzburg , but also with collectors such as Peter Ludwig . Among other things, Giorgio Fallani brought the Würzburg Four Seasons Altar to Würzburg .

The Galleria Fallani specializes in trading antique marble work, but also deals in vases, glasses, terracottas , bronzes and coins.
