ALONSO NESCUN
"Ownership is an illusion; we are merely the transient custodians of beauty."
A Life Curated in Motion
Alonso Nescun
(b. 1967, Rome)
"Bridging European heritage with American innovation"
Alonso Nescun is a renowned art collector, international art dealer, and CEO of Aurora Art International, a leading global consultancy and brokerage firm specializing in fine art acquisitions, cross-border art trade, and collection management.
Born and raised in Rome, Italy, Alonso cultivated a passion for art from an early age, developing an acute eye for both contemporary and classical works. Walking the cobblestone streets of Trastevere as a child, he learned to see history not as a static record, but as a living dialogue. This Roman heritage instilled in him a profound respect for provenance and the enduring nature of material culture.
With decades of experience bridging the European and American art markets, Alonso has earned a reputation for integrity, aesthetic insight, and exceptional negotiation skills. He works closely with private collectors, museums, and galleries, advising on acquisitions, provenance verification, and strategic art investment.
"Collecting is authorship. It is the act of writing a history through objects, ensuring the masterpieces of yesterday find their rightful place in the collections of tomorrow."
Today, as the CEO of Aurora Art International, he stands as a titan in the art world. His approach is surgical—identifying works that define eras before history has even had the chance to record them. From the quiet intensity of the Renaissance to the chaotic brilliance of contemporary masters, his personal collection spans the breadth of human emotion.
