start placing bids on our website www.bertolamifineart.com, or on the partner platforms as listed in point c of paragraph 1.
Submit written bids as described in point d of paragraph 1.
In the event of:
a. One single pre-auction bid on a lot
In the absence of bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded at the starting bid even if the sole bid received is higher (the amount of the pre-auction bid indicates the maximum bid the bidder is willing to place.
Example: Starting bid € 1,000 – Single pre-sale bid € 1,500 – Award at € 1,000
b. Multiple pre-auction bids of the same amount on the same lot
If no bids are raised during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the earlier bidder.
c. Multiple pre-auction bids of different amounts on the same lot
If there are no bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the highest bidder. The hammer price is calculated by adding to the amount of the next lowest bid an increment set out in the table below.
Example: customer A bid € 1,270 - customer B bid € 1,800. Customer B does not win at the award price of € 1,800 but at € 1,370. In other words, the automatic increase of € 100 provided for in the table is applied to the amount of the next lowest bid when the bids are within the € 1,000-1,999 bracket.

7. Issuance of the Certificato di Libera Circolazione (Certificate of Free Movement) or of any other ministerial authorization required for the exportation of the awarded goods
The delivery of lots outside the Italian borders may be subject to the provisions set out in the Codice dei Beni Culturali (Dlgs. 42/2004 e ss.mm.ii.) concerning the export of goods of cultural interest.
