Daisy Beatriz Diaz (Cultural Director of Frascione Arte – Italy/South Florida)
Daisy Diaz was born in Miami to Cuban American parents. Her father’s passion for antiquities ignited Daisy’s lifelong commitment to the arts. After graduating from Boston College, she set out to complete a master’s degree in industrial design in Florence, which led to a career at Lungarno Alberghi (the Salvatore Ferragamo family’s hospitality and interior design group). Soon after, she formed her own distribution company. Daisy Diaz’s unwavering appreciation of the arts would lead her to meet Federico Gandolfi Vannini (4th generation art dealer and owner of Frascione Arte), and, for more than a decade, the couple has expanded their private collection.
Since 2020, Federico and Daisy have lived in Miami while continuing to run Frascione Arte. They hope to make a lasting impact on South Florida’s arts and culture scene.
