Jacopo developed his passion for art within the traditional exhibition context of galleries, where he first engaged with the dynamics of artistic research and collecting. He subsequently entered the auction market, heading the modern and contemporary art departments of leading auction houses. For over twenty years, he has also been active in art market consultancy and analysis, assisting private collectors and institutions in defining strategies for the acquisition, management, and enhancement of artworks.

Ariana Helling attended the degree course in Political Science at the University of Trieste. She subsequently obtained her diploma in Gemology from the International Gemological Institute (IGI) in Antwerp, one of the most prestigious international training and certification institutes in the gemological sector. She is a member of the Italian College of Experts in Rome and the Bundesverband der Deutschen Gutachter (German Federal Association of Experts). Her professional experience has developed through an in-depth knowledge of the jewelry market, initially gained as the owner of a jewelry store in Düsseldorf. This experience has enabled her to acquire specialized expertise in the selection, evaluation, and management of jewelry, diamonds, colored gemstones, and precious stones. She subsequently undertook the activity of independent consultant and expert appraiser of jewelry, collaborating with major international auction houses. She is responsible for the evaluation, cataloging, and preparation of appraisals of antique and contemporary jewelry, diamonds, colored gemstones, and precious objects intended for auction sales, private collections, estate divisions, and inheritance proceedings. Her activity is based on the highest standards of competence, independence, and professional rigor, with particular attention to authenticity, quality, and the correct valuation of precious assets.

With a legal background and a professional career developed across corporate law, fashion, and luxury, Edda Cremona brings a cross-disciplinary vision to Kruso Art that combines technical expertise, cultural sensitivity, and a profound knowledge of the fashion world. A Law graduate specialized as a corporate lawyer, she served for several years as Head of the Legal Department within the Dsquared2 group, an experience that allowed her to develop direct insight into the creative and strategic dynamics of the sector. Alongside her legal profession, she has cultivated a personal project over the years dedicated to luxury accessories and the scouting of emerging designers and independent brands, developing a particular focus on the cultural, identity-driven, and historical value of fashion items.

Roberto Radisa, an architect trained at the Politecnico di Milano, embarked on a professional journey that took him from Milan to New York, and then established himself in the fashion world between the United States, Japan, and Italy as creative director of prestigious luxury brands. It was during these years that he developed his refined sensibility as a collector, focused on furnishings, porcelain, crystal, and design objects, which brought him closer to leading antique and vintage dealers. From this passion, his Milanese gallery was born, a meeting place for some of the most authoritative gallerists, architects, and designers in the sector.

Gabriele was born into a third-generation family of philatelists, but from a young age, he developed a strong passion for numismatics, dedicating himself to the study and collection of coins. Since 1993, he has worked alongside his parents in the family business and, with the opening of the first shop in Forlì, embarked on his professional career in the numismatic sector. Today, he is the owner of two businesses in Forlì and Cesena. Since 2001, he has been a member of the NIP and holds authorization from the Bank of Italy for the trade of investment gold. Since 2005, he has organized fixed-price sales and numismatic auctions, operating with integrity and transparency. He specializes in Italian coinage and regularly participates in national and international auctions, as well as trade fairs, including those in Germany. He is a philatelic and numismatic expert for the Court of Forlì and collaborates with institutions and professionals for appraisals and valuations. Finally, he maintains an extensive numismatic library, which is constantly updated for his research and cataloging.

Luca Gazzi’s history in philately began long before his professional career: a passion he has breathed since childhood, passed down through several generations. From the first lessons of his grandfather Luigi to his growth in the family auction business, his path is marked by an indissoluble bond with the world of stamps. Currently heading the Philatelic Department at Kruso Art, Luca puts this heritage at the service of a select clientele. Between Florence and Milan, he personally oversees the enhancement of historical rarities and postcards, seeking to combine the tradition of classic collecting with the modern opportunities of the global market, offering a steady guide to those who see collecting not only as a passion, but as a value to be protected and grown over time.

With a specialized degree in Economics and Management of Cultural Heritage and a passion for contemporary art, its economic dimension, and more generally, the dynamics characterizing the art market, Gabriele has gained experience over time in contexts such as contemporary art galleries, start-ups, and Art Advisory. He joined the Kruso Art team as an assistant in the Modern Contemporary Art Department, managing auctions dedicated to contemporary art and collaborating on the publication of auctions from other departments.

Always attracted to the dynamics of the art market, thanks to a degree in Business Economics and a Master’s in Cultural Heritage Management, Carlotta immediately began her professional career in auction houses. Today she holds the position of department assistant at Kruso Art.
