An evolutionary step to offer our clients expertise and professionalism; additionally and every day. It is with this spirit that IL PONTE joins the MILLON Group.
A French group, a European leader in this field, which thinks Italian, puts the customer at the center, and believes in the professionalism, seriousness, and ethics of this work.
Our identity remains the same as always, but our desire is to further qualify our services, to ensure excellence for those who rely on and will rely on Il Ponte. Our experts, together with many new experts in new departments, will be introduced in the coming months, further enriching our services.

"We are proud and excited to join the Millon family." says Rossella Novarini, General Manager of Il Ponte Casa d'Aste. "This not only highlights and enhances our long-standing commitment but also amplifies our position in the art market, outlining new horizons for growth and innovation. Together with MILLON, intertwining our histories and visions, we aim to create a new harmonious partnership that can become an absolute and reliable reference point for Italian and international clients."
The MILLON Auction Group, with its consolidated experience and leading position in the market, is guided in its expansion by this vision and aims to present itself as an innovator in the art market. Alexandre Millon, President of MILLON, declares: "The union with Il Ponte Casa d'Aste is a highly significant choice. From the beginning, we were fascinated by its solid reputation and prestigious position in the Italian market. Its leaders are the soul of this auction house. We conceive our work as that of a trusted intermediary beyond the legislations and specifics of each country. This acquisition allows us to make a strategic move and pursue our international expansion."
In their respective countries, two family-run auction houses, ambassadors of excellence and tradition.
This is the first time an international group in this sector has acquired an Italian auction house, offering new opportunities to Italian collectors, buyers, and sellers.
This is not only a historic operation but also a clear intention to do even more and do even better.
