The Gallery

For over thirty years, Dalton Somaré has been a meeting place for Haute Epoque African tribal sculpture and ancient Indo-Buddhist art, offering the opportunity to explore their beauty and relevance within the context of 21st-century art.

An internationally recognized gallery based in central Milan—a cosmopolitan city and one of Europe’s style and art capitals—Dalton Somaré enables the experience of discovering new aesthetic languages. It caters to art lovers in search of works with significant historical and cultural depth, as well as to collectors who embrace a more contemporary approach.

The gallery’s dedication to finding the highest examples and most representative works, combined with its refined eclecticism, makes Dalton Somaré one of the most dynamic and captivating galleries on the international stage.

The Dalton Somaré Gallery was founded in 1993 by Leonardo Vigorelli and Grata Somaré, born out of their studies in anthropology, museum experience, and three decades of field research across the Himalayan range, India, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Since 1999, Dalton Somaré has actively participated in premier international events dedicated to Primitive and Oriental Art, including the BRAFA Art Fair in Brussels, Bruneaf in Brussels, the Tribal and Textile Arts Show in San Francisco, the Arts of Pacific Asia Show in San Francisco, International Tribal Antiques in New York, the Arts of Pacific Asia Show in New York, Parcours des Mondes in Paris, Asia Week in New York, and Asian Art in London.

Since 2018, with Milan’s renewed international prominence, Dalton Somaré has also taken part in AMART, Milan’s esteemed antique art fair. The gallery has been under the direction of Tomaso and Gerolamo Vigorelli since 2017.
