About Callea Antichità
The gallery was founded in 1993 in the heart of the historic center of Como on the initiative of Lallo Callea, who over the years joined his son Stefano. The activity revolves around ancient and nineteenth-century paintings, sculptures, fine furnishings and art objects, to which has recently been added the interest in Italian design of '900. Thanks to its location the gallery is a reference point for collectors from around the world who frequent Como and its lake.
