Galleria Il Ponte was founded in 1965, fruit of the copperplate engraver Vincenzo Alibrandi’s passion for contemporary art. It has occupied in its current location in Florence since 1977, and is run by Andrea Alibrandi since 1986.
In the course of the early thirty years, Galleria Il Ponte has presented a wide but select nucleus of artists whose work spans the entire Twentieth Century, From Italian masters of the first half of the Century, such as De Pisis, Sironi, Soffici, Rosai,… to the first exponents of Informal Art, such as Afro and Mirko Basaldella, Arturo Carmassi, Pietro Consagra, Mattia Moreni, Giulio Turcato.
Side by side with the gallery’s exhibition activities, a lively publishing effort has taken off, publishing art books and catalogues whose writing and design is of extremely high quality.

In 2003, the space was totally refurbished, in tune with a desire to move the gallery’s activities to the predominantly contemporary sphere. This new page in the gallery’s life opened with an important show dedicated to Michelangelo Pistoletto followed by shows by Claudio Abate, Rodolfo Aricò, Gianfranco Baruchello, Carlo Battaglia, Ben Vautier, Giuseppe Chiari, Paolo Cotani, Gianni Colombo, Jan Fabre, Rosa Foschi, Bruno Gambone, Marco Gastini, Zoé Gruni, Raymond Hains, Soonja Han, Paolo Icaro, Bernard Joubert, Aldo Mondino, Davide Mosconi, Mattia Moreni, Hidetoshi Nagasawa, Giulia Napoleone, Louise Nevelson, Luca Maria Patella, Alfredo Pirri, Carol Rama, Renato Ranaldi, Mimmo Rotella, Paolo Scheggi, Mario Schifano, Giuseppe Spagnulo, Mauro Staccioli, Joe Tilson, Giulio Turcato.
