Giorgio Persano opened his first gallery, Multipli, in 1970. While interested in American pop graphics, he began producing multiplied works by Italian artists, such as Michelangelo Pistoletto, Gilberto Zorio, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Giovanni Anselmo, Salvo, Giuseppe Penone and Giulio Paolini. Since 1975, some of them have begun to use the gallery space as a workshop, creating installations and experimenting with new creative processes.
