The 19th–20th Century Painting and Sculpture Department of Il Ponte Casa d’Aste is a leading reference point for the appraisal and sale of works from the late 19th century and early 20th century.
Thanks to its consolidated expertise, thorough stylistic analysis, and verified provenances, it plays a central role for collectors, institutions, and enthusiasts of Italian and European art.
In December 2024, the department achieved an extraordinary result: over €1 million in auction sales, with 80% of lots sold and an average revaluation of estimates of 170%. In that session, the top lot was Sulla strada di Castellammare (1875) by Giuseppe De Nittis, sold for €378,000, alongside Neapolitan views by Giacinto Gigante such as Veduta da La Marinella (€69,300) and Una processione a Mergellina (€44,100).
These results confirm how high-quality works of the 19th and early 20th century, including portraits, landscapes, and genre paintings, continue to attract strong interest from both national and international markets. The department consistently offers reliable professional appraisals, based on direct comparison with the most prestigious auctions, ensuring visibility and real value for the works presented.
