::::I'm not entirely sure that I follow your reasoning here, {{u|DGG}}. A car dealer does not become notable because he sells well-known brands of car, a butcher's shop does not become notable because it sells a famous kind of meat, a second-hand charity shop does not become notable because it sells clothes made by famous companies. How is this different? |

::::Anyway, to test the hypothesis that this gallery might be significant in the history of "its" artists, I looked at the biographies in the ''[[Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani]]'' of two that the gallery claims to handle, [http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/leoncillo-leonardi_(Dizionario-Biografico)/ Leoncillo] and [http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/giorgio-morandi_(Dizionario-Biografico) Morandi]. Both pages mention several galleries (La Cometa in Rome and Il Fiore in Florence are mentioned in both), but neither mentions this one.

- I'm not entirely sure that I follow your reasoning here, DGG. A car dealer does not become notable because he sells well-known brands of car, a butcher's shop does not become notable because it sells a famous kind of meat, a second-hand charity shop does not become notable because it sells clothes made by famous companies. How is this different?
- Anyway, to test the hypothesis that this gallery might be significant in the history of "its" artists, I looked at the biographies in the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani of two that the gallery claims to handle, Leoncillo and Morandi. Both pages mention several galleries (La Cometa in Rome and Il Fiore in Florence are mentioned in both), but neither mentions this one. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
