SMART PATRONAGE is conceived as a space where art, collecting and lifestyle converge.

Graduated from Bocconi University in Milan, my background in economics shaped my interest in the business side of the art world, from market dynamics to record-breaking sales. Exposure to international art fairs, collectors, and creative circles inspired me to start sharing content online, blending market insights with collecting practices shaping perception and taste.

This book is my first tangible project, a curated selection of quotes and facts from 50 artists who transcend time. Each page is meant to spark reflection and offer a lighthearted entry into the art world, through those creative minds who continue to influence it.
