Nicholas Acquavella (1898–1987) was an American art dealer and gallerist, and the founder of Acquavella Galleries.

He founded Acquavella Galleries in 1921,[2][3] at 598 Madison Avenue, where he specialised in Italian art.[4]

In 1967, he moved his gallery to 18 East 79th Street, where it remains, and in 1968, his son William Acquavella took over.[4]

Personal life[edit]

He was married to Michelina Editta "Edythe" Acquavella[5] (1911–2008), the daughter of Vincenzo Cardillo and Anna Della Valla.

They had one son, William Acquavella, and three grandchildren.[4]

He died on 20 April 1987 at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, aged 88.[4]
