Gino Ramaglia

Naples


Opened by the great grandmother of its current owners – siblings Marco and Enzo Ramiglia – this historic art-supplies store has been in business since 1926. Famous customers have included Andy Warhol, not to mention prolific contemporary artists like Neapolitan Lello Esposito and students from the neighbouring Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli.

Stock up on everything from sketch books and canvases to oils, acrylics, pure pigments, brushes, pencils and more. In case you're wondering, the jars of rare antique pigments behind the counter are not for sale.
