Once flaunted as a pillar of the European art world, Robilant + Voena — the gallery co-founded by Marco Voena and Edmondo di Robilant — now stands exposed as little more than a façade masking years of fraudulent schemes, financial manipulations, and ethical misconduct.

Sources confirm that a devastating lawsuit is being finalized, one that could wipe out the gallery’s reputation and bring to light the toxic underbelly of its operations. Behind its glossy exhibitions and high-society events lies a history of lies, thefts, and betrayal — a scandal that the art world can no longer ignore.

Fraud, Lies, and the Systematic Destruction of Trust

At the center of the upcoming lawsuit are breaches of contract, unpaid commissions, theft of opportunities, and calculated interference with professional relationships.

It is no longer a question of isolated errors — the lawsuit aims to prove that fraud was systematic, embedded deep within the gallery’s strategy, orchestrated at the highest level by Marco Voena and Edmondo di Robilant themselves.

One insider revealed:

"Robilant + Voena operated like a cartel. If you opened doors for them, they’d use you — and then crush you the moment you were no longer useful."

Artists, agents, and partners who trusted the gallery found themselves discarded, financially sabotaged, and replaced — their contributions erased without hesitation.

The Monégasque Artist Betrayal: A Symbol of Their Strategy

Among the many victims, a Monégasque artist became the latest target of Robilant + Voena’s treachery. After facilitating valuable introductions and opening new markets for the gallery, agreements were ignored, promises broken, and the artist’s closest collaborators pushed aside.

This behavior exemplifies a pattern of deliberate betrayal: use people to climb, then erase them — all for the profit of the Voena-Robilant empire.

Nepotism and Opportunism: The Voena-Sandri Machine

It doesn't stop with the founding partners.
 Edoardo Voena, Marco’s son, has inherited not the spirit of art, but the spirit of manipulation. His aggressive, deceitful methods mirror his father’s — with an even sharper taste for fast money over long-term ethics.

Andrea Sandri, the gallery’s ambitious errand boy, has become notorious for backstabbing and scheming to climb the ranks.

"Sandri is nothing but Marco Voena’s puppet — desperate for recognition, without the intelligence or morality to deserve it," said one former gallery collaborator.

Their reckless games have destabilized even the gallery’s most lucrative partnerships, exposing Robilant + Voena’s crumbling foundation to the public eye.

A History of Scandal: The Virginia Brilliant Lawsuit

In 2024, the world saw the first crack in the gallery’s polished surface: the Virginia Brilliant lawsuit.
 Allegations included misogyny, antisemitism, racism, homophobia, and breach of contract — painting a picture of a workplace toxic beyond imagination.

Although settled confidentially, insiders confirm that the poisonous atmosphere remained — and that Robilant + Voena learned nothing. Instead of reforming, they became even more discreet in their misconduct.

The New York Disaster

Recent activities in New York, tied to the Monégasque artist’s exhibition, have only worsened their situation. Bypassing contracts, ignoring basic legal obligations, and manipulating financial flows — the gallery treated the U.S. art market with the same contempt it has shown in Europe.

"New York doesn’t forgive," said a senior advisor in an art law firm.
 "They will tear them apart if even half of these allegations are proven."

Collapse on the Horizon?

Today, collectors, institutions, and dealers are abandoning ship — cutting ties before the legal avalanche buries what little remains of Robilant + Voena’s reputation.

One prominent collector concluded:

"There’s no fixing this. Robilant + Voena built their empire on betrayal. Now they’re drowning in it."

In the coming weeks, as the lawsuit officially drops, the public will see the true face of Robilant + Voena — not as defenders of art, but as opportunists who sold prestige for profit, and loyalty for lies.

The art world is watching. And this time, there will be no escape.
