On Thursday 18th December Palazzo Broggi, prestigious Milanese venue of Sotheby’s Italy, is going to auction a parade of 106 extraordinary lots, nineteenth-century paintings and sculptures. 
The top lot is expected for an exceptional triad represented by the painters Emilio Longoni, Giovanni Boldini and Adolfo Tommasi, all estimated at about 100,000€.
The ball is led off by the highest estimate (320,000-420,000€) for “Alba” (Sunrise) by Emilio Longoni, work conceived in 1905 while the artist was staying in Val Malenco and exhibited the same year at the sixth edition of the Venice biennial.

The results achieved by the auction of 19th-century paintings held by Finarte in Venice were not totally satisfying. The sales totalled 530,286 euros (including auction rights), but of the 200 lots presented only 62 were acquired during the evening.
The top lot was the painting by Edoardo Dal Bono, which exceeded every expectation and sold for 96,720 euros (estimate 75,000 – 30,000 euros). One of most relevant hammer prices was achieved by “La Chambre à Coucher” by Federico Zandomeneghi, sold for 43,400 euros (estimate 40,000 – 45,000 euros). But in particular, positive surprises for Vincenzo Irolli: “Tra le Braccia della Mamma” achieved 53,320 euros
