With revenue of 24.65 million euros—up from approximately 21 million euros recorded in the first half of 2025—the auction house is consolidating a growth trajectory based on the quality of its offerings, the trust of collectors and consignors, and a growing openness to international markets. In the first six months of the year, Cambi organized 68 auctions—42 of which were held online—featuring over 22,400 lots in its catalogs.

On May 20, 2026, Cambi Auction House presents in Milan the second edition of Fine Art Selection, the auction dedicated to Old Master art that last year marked the department’s Milan debut with significant success among collectors and the public.
The second edition of Fine Art Selection confirms the distinctive nature of the project: a catalogue conceived as a journey through European taste, organized chronologically to guide the public through a path that leads from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century and Neoclassicism.
Among the most remarkable works in the entire sale is the Bust of Costanza Piccolomini Bonarelli (lot 11).

Cambi Casa d’Aste presents the auction “Maiolicas, Porcelains, and a Venetian Glass,” scheduled for April 15, 2026, in Genoa — an event dedicated to the excellence of European ceramic arts, with a special focus on ancient Persian ceramics. The remarkable history of this tradition is represented here by a rare early 12th-century cup, whose decoration, featuring arabesque motifs and stylized vegetal elements, is enhanced by polychrome enamels and gilding on a turquoise ground.
Every collection is born from an encounter. Sometimes by chance, other times inevitably. In the case of the Conforti Collection, now the focus of a highly anticipated auction, it all began in the 1970s with a simple antique key. It was then that Leopoldo Conforti, an entrepreneur at the helm of his family business specializing in safes and security systems, purchased the first piece. That key was not just a curious object: it sparked an interest destined to evolve, over more than fifty years, into one of the most fascinating European collections dedicated to the art of locks.
