In 2012 the Massimodeluca Gallery opened within an industrial space in Mestre. It focused on artists born in the 1980s, supporting them step-by-step and establishing itself as a cultural hub for emerging talent. In doing so, it became a key point of reference for curators dedicated to identifying the artists of the future.

​

In 2018, the gallery was renamed Marina Bastianello Gallery. In 2023, it relocated to Venice, expanding its project not only in terms of the artists' age groups but also by looking toward international figures.

"There are places born with a destiny, such as the art space Marina Bastianello chose to establish at the end or the beginning of a calle, just before or just after a bridge, at the intersection of stone and water. At the end or the beginning of a calle lies the narrow path of art—in its origin and its fulfillment—before the bridge that both joins and divides art from the world, overcoming with its certainty the liquid passage of time" — Ernesto Francalanci
