Itálica
Anticuario
ITALICA is currently the most
exclusive representative
of Asian Art in Spain. Mani
de Rato and her daughter
Ángela de la Rosa Rato,
alongside a team of
professionals, are the faces
behind the gallery. Ángela
specialised in Asian Art
at the British Museum in
London, focusing on India,
China and South East
Asia. Itálica participates in
fairs and auctions, both in
Spain and internationally.
In September 2012, Itálica
moved back into the same
gallery space where it all
began in 1970, in Calle Jorge
Juan 31, Madrid. The gallery
has been reformed and
continues to offer unique
pieces of painting, sculpture
and furniture.

María Fernanda
Lairet
Born in Caracas, Venezuela,
Lairet studied Graphic
Design at the Instituto de
Diseño de Caracas (1987).
Throughout her career as
an artist she has dabbled
in graphic design, drawing,
photography, and painting,
disciplines in which she
works without boundaries
and combines to produce
surprising pieces. During
the 80’s Lairet began her
artistic work, with pieces
framed within abstract
expressionism and paintings
strongly dominated by
gestures. Lairet’s current
work is more reflexive
and conceptual, by which
she studies currency from
different denominations
and nationalities and where
she seeps through aspects
of politics, economy and
society.
