Welcome to A. Gallo Colors, where passion for historical pigments and painting techniques comes to life. Our brand is dedicated to creating artisanal watercolors that connect users to the origins of artistic materials.

Inspired by the studies of manuscript painting techniques and a love for the history of pigments, we have been making our own paint for almost a decade. Our handmade process involves working with raw materials and traditional recipes, resulting in high-quality colors that are rich in history. Located in the medieval town of Assisi, Italy, we draw inspiration from the birthplace of Saint Francis and the stunning fresco cycles by proto-Renaissance painter, Giotto.

We believe that painting, architecture, and the viewer are interconnected, which is reflected in our site-specific painting installations. To ensure the safety and stability of our paints, we have formulated recipes using the best lightfast and environmentally friendly pigments available today. Our colors are mercury, lead, arsenic, cobalt, and cadmium free.

Whether you're a professional artist or an enthusiast, our vibrant watercolors, made with gum arabic and honey-based binders, are perfect for creating stunning artworks. Join us in embracing our contemporary approach to historical color and experience the touch of passion in every brushstroke
