Guido Galimberti writes some remarks about the opportunity of investing in art as an alternative to other forms of investment that so far seemed to be safe from every turbulence.

A lot of collectors have understood the financial importance of art even though they clearly know the risk of reducing the works of art in the same way as mere investments and they ask if even art could become a victim of speculation.

Of course investing in talent is a risky operation because talent has an absolutely unforseeable margin of risk; so, the investor must necessarily be aware of the peculiarity of the market he is approaching, he must understand that the value of the work of art goes beyond its quotation and is above all in the pleasure of taking a daily advantage of the work itself.
