Dear customers, distinguished colleagues, dear friends.

Every auction is a bit like life. A continuous challenge, a race against time, looming over our fortunes. Sometimes regular, monotonous if you like, as if punctuated by the beating of a hammer, which often covers the sound of the footsteps of the unpredictable, of surprise, constantly around the corner. During an auction round, and every day, one is alone, among many, close to few. Everyone looks straight at their own goals, hoping to share as little as possible with others.

Today we have the certainty that the goal, of everyone, is the same. Today the relentless worldly race comes to a halt. The situation that our beloved country, and not only it, is facing forces us all to take a step back, in order to be able to take another hundred steps forward. So, in the meantime, let us take advantage of this time to look around us, to rediscover ourselves fulfilled and complete even in our homes, in the midst of a few, dear ones, and close to all. Let us all do this, for our brothers and sisters in Italy, the wounded mother, among other things, of much of the artistic heritage to which every local auction house owes its existence. This is also what we at Arcadia Auction House will do, forced by events to temporarily stop from our beloved activities, but ready to respond as always to your every need via the usual social channels and our e-mail contacts, sure to be back soon. And 1, and 2, and 3, boom. Time for a few beats of the hammer, and the hashtag will no longer be #restateacasa, but #bentornatiaCasadAsteArcadia.

The staff of Arcadia.
