ASSOCIAZIONE ANTIQUARI D’ITALIA
The Italian Antiquarians Association was established on 10 October 1959, in a gesture intended to support and share the spirit and ideals of the Florence International Antiques Fair. The Fair is the feather in the cap of the Association, and over the years it has endeavoured to consistently raise the level of quality, identifying with the aims and ambitions of its members and succeeding in consolidating its status as one of the most authoritative events on the international scene. In this sense both the Association and the Fair (which is on record as being the first antique art fair in the world) immediately made their mark, established as a model of quality and morality not only on the Italian scene but also on the international stage, like all the events that were to follow. Transparency in the trade of works of art is indeed one of the fundamental benchmarks of the Association, together with the severe prosecution of any unfair dealing or underhand expedients, which it has always staunchly fought against, even through legal measures: a stalwart and resolute stand in defence of antique art and the enhancement of its heritage.
Today, the Association numbers 150 antiquarians, belongs to the International Confederation of Art and Antique Dealers’ Associations, is involved in the organisation of prestigious cultural events, sponsors lectures and conferences designed to foster and spread a knowledge of antiques and antique dealing. Finally, it also offers scholarships, awards and certificates aimed at stimulating the culture and knowledge of the heritage of antique art.

ASSOCIAZIONE DIMORE STORICHE ITALIANE
Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane is a Moral Agency recognized by DPR 11.26.90, for over 36 years it aims to facilitate the conservation, valorization and management of historic residences. In our country, often credited with 60% of the world’s cultural heritage, the historic-artistic heritage of architecture, is an essential part of the cultural identity. The conservation of this heritage, a truthful memory of the past, requires that it should be passed on to future generations through the protection and valorization of buildings and historic gardens, protecting them from degradation and destruction. The historic residences in fact, are not always turned into museums and preserving them in some way is keeping them alive, by choosing a compatible destination reflecting the original vocation of the buildings. Specifically, A.D.S.I. promotes the counseling and legal assistance, administrative, fiscal and technical assistance to its members for the purpose of safeguarding, conservation, valorization and management of historic residences – it maintains good relations with the competent public authorities – collaborates with similar national and international associations, particularly European ones with similar purposes and is a member of HEH (European Historic Houses ) – promotes studies, research and other activities aimed at the attainment of social goals and envisions the means to achieve a more adequate European and national legislative orientation.
