After hosting, over the course of the 1950s, a number of important exhibitions, including the first European solo shows of Franz Kline and Cy Twombly, in the early 1960s it was one of the first Italian exhibition venues to foster relations with the United States and the first to promote Pop Art in the Rome, becoming a point of reference for the group of young artists who were to become the members of so-called 'Italia Pop, ' better known as the 'Scuola di Piazza del Popolo': Franco Angeli, Mario Ceroli, Tano Festa, Giosetta Fioroni, Renato Mambor, Mario Schifano, and Cesare Tacchi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first analytical study of the gallery's activity, examining the crucial years from 1954 to 1968, at the same time providing an accurate chronological reconstruction of all of the exhibition and publishing activities that took place until the death of the gallerist in 2004.
