MARINA COVI, bolzanina di origine, ha trovato a Roma il terreno ideale per esprimersi come operatrice culturale e di comunicazione, sviluppando attività di promozione internazionale del ‘Made in Itay’, prima, e di ampliamento del mondo dell’arte contemporanea, poi.
Ha aperto sei anni fa la sua galleria Oredaria, realizzando complessivamente 28 mostre, in prevalenza con grandi maestri italiani, ma offrendo uno spazio qualificato anche a giovani artisti in via di affermazione.
Grande attenzione viene dedicata all’attività editoriale. Una collana specifica SKIRA/OREDARIA è dedicata a testimoniare i vari progetti che gli artisti hanno voluto realizzare in galleria.
La galleria Oredaria dispone di uno spazio espositivo di 300 mq nel quartiere Nomentano a poca distanza dal MACRO (Museo di Arte Conteporanea di Roma) ed è spesso punto di incontro: vi hanno luogo dibattiti, presentazione di libri, eventi musicali.
