The Cannaviello Art Studio was opened in Caserta in 1968. In 1971 it moved to Rome, first to Piazza Argentina and later to Piazza de' Massimi; in 1978 it moved again, to Milan, where it is currently based. In the 1970s the gallery’s interest was mainly directed to conceptual art. In the 1980s, it became the Italian site that hosted the most significant German-speaking artists belonging to the New Expressionism, such as: Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke, Karl Horst Hödicke, Bernd Zimmer, Rainer Fetting, Hermann Albert, Martin Disler, A.R. Penk, Günter Brus, Hermann Nitsch, Arnulf Rainer, Siegfried Anzinger and Maria Lassnig. From the 1990s the gallery has been dealing mainly with new figurative painting, drawing attention to those artists who re-elaborate media messages through painting, like Pierluigi Pusole, Daniele Galliano, Gianluca Sgherri, Federico Guida, Francesco De Grandi, Federico Pietrella, Cristiano Pintaldi, Federico Guida in Italy and Bas Meerman, Till Freiwald, Javier Garcerà, Santiago Ydanez, Nicky Hoberman e Frank Bauer abroad.
