About Modernismo
Gianluca Abbadessa originally from Catania has a dream: to seek beauty in the future of the past. This is why he created two design galleries. These galleries are called MODERNISMO and are two wonderful spaces, where you can buy and sell the best design objects of the 20th century. I believe in the creations of visionary artists who have generated the production of objects and furniture, which are a real revolution in taste that has brought design, fashion and architecture within the reach of those who are madly in love with style.
