Shipping & Documentation

Shipping an original isn’t just logistics—it’s a farewell.

When you collect one of my pieces, you’re not just buying an object. You’re welcoming into your life something that was crafted slowly, carefully, and with a profound emotional investment. That’s why shipping is, without a doubt, the most delicate phase of the entire process.

Each artwork holds part of my artistic journey. Letting it go means trusting it will be cherished and protected. So I take extraordinary care to ensure your new piece reaches you safely, intact, and exactly as radiant as it was when it left my studio.

🌍 Packaging & Handling

Every painting is packaged with museum-grade materials. I use a combination of rigid protective layers, cushioning, and corner guards to eliminate any chance of movement or damage. All materials are chosen to be protective but also eco-conscious whenever possible, in alignment with my studio values.

I personally oversee the packaging process and often take final documentation photos before sealing the parcel—part of my emotional goodbye ritual.

🛡️ Insurance & Couriers

Original artworks are always shipped with full insurance, both for your peace of mind and mine. I collaborate only with trustworthy couriers who are used to handling valuable, delicate goods. Depending on your location, I will choose the safest and most efficient shipping method available.

Once your package is on its way, I’ll send you a tracking number and updates so you can follow your painting’s journey home.

📜 International Shipping & Documentation

For collectors outside of Italy, there’s an additional step that’s essential to understand. In Italy, any artwork permanently leaving the country must be registered and approved by the Fine Arts Export Office (Ufficio Esportazione Beni Culturali). This process ensures legal and cultural transparency and adds an extra layer of safety and legitimacy to your acquisition.

I personally handle all paperwork and submit each piece for approval, which typically takes up to a few weeks. While this might delay the shipping slightly, I believe it’s a small sacrifice in order to protect both our interests and your investment.

💌 What to Expect

From the moment you make your purchase to the final delivery, I’ll keep you informed and involved. If there are any delays, I’ll be transparent about them. If you have special requests—such as gift wrapping or a custom note—just let me know, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

Art deserves to travel with dignity. I see each shipment as a journey—a quiet procession from my sanctuary to yours. And I promise to treat that journey with the same care and attention that went into the creation of your piece.
