The Premio Diana Bracco – Imprenditrici ad arte 2025 has been awarded to Marta Barbieri and Paola Bonino, UNA, Piacenza and Milano.

Promoted since 2023 by Fondazione Bracco, in collaboration with Fondazione Roberto De Silva and Diana Bracco in Milano, the prize is given to an emerging female gallerist, Italian or foreign, whose entrepreneurial history demonstrates a significant focus on research and artistic quality.

Jury: Elisabetta Barisoni, Head of Museums MUVE, Mestre; Monica Bonvicini, Artist;
Christian Levett, Collector, philanthropist, and founder of FAMM, Vieux Village de Mougins.

Their remarks: The jury, after careful consideration, has unanimously chosen the freshness and energy of a courageous proposal, characterized by a solid entrepreneurial commitment with a strong focus on women artists and the future of the gallery.

The prize underscores the gallerist’s ability to combine commercial growth in the art market with meaningful cultural development aimed at supporting and promoting young artists. The winner will receive a cash prize of 10,000 euros, intended to further grow her entrepreneurial model in the contemporary art sector, thus serving as inspiration for new generations of Italian and international gallery entrepreneurs.
