Robertaebasta was founded in 1967 by Roberta Tagliavini. Over the years, Robertaebasta has become an undisputed point of reference for the Decorative Arts and Design of the 20th Century. Today, it is one of the best-known galleries in Italy and beyond, with a network of established connections in the realm of interior design, yacht design, fashion and movie sets.

In September 2017, Mattia Maurizio Martinelli, Managing Director and son of Ms Tagliavini, opened a sixth gallery, and the first outside of Milan, in London's design mecca, Pimlico Road. The gallery's ethos perfectly embraces the cosmopolitan nature of the city. The gallery displays a unique selection of eclectic pieces of modern Italian and French design, thus bringing an unconventional approach to London's finest design district.
