Founded in 1963 on the return from Brazil by Mauro Bovecchi, the Bovecchi srl was founded as the operational headquarters for the trade of fine marbles such as the Portuguese rose of the best quality or the rare black marble of Belgium.
At the beginning of the nineties, at the headquarters of the company, located in an old farmhouse in the middle of the countryside of Pietrasanta, is created, on the idea of the son Diego Bovecchi, Open One – Contemporary Art: An open-air gallery that begins to welcome the works Sculptor of those artists who frequented the subhashis to buy the marbles for their works.
The initial idea was to accompany the works of the great masters best known in the art world, young sculptors newcomers, so that often Open One held at baptism and supported artists who today have established themselves, favouring in particular the Sculptures in marble or bronze of an abstract type, but also opening successively to the figurative and the most experimental materials, as well as sporadically to painting and photography.
The large outdoor green space is today the place of excellence for the exposition of monumental sculptures: unique in the whole of Versilia, among the few in the world.
