常青画廊最初成立于1990年，三位意大利青年好友马里奥·克里斯蒂阿尼、洛伦佐·飞亚斯其和莫瑞希欧·瑞哥罗在托斯卡纳腹地，远离大城市的小镇——圣吉米那诺开启了他们注定不凡的征程。三位创始人选址于此是因为希望“将当代艺术带到远离熙攘大城市以及中心文化地段的偏远乡村地区”。画廊的名字寄托了三人的弘愿：“通过艺术在过去、当下和未来之间建立联系并将之升华”。
过往三十余载，常青画廊不断开辟新空间，如今已在全球拥有八所空间：继圣吉米那诺空间之后，常青画廊于2004年在中国北京798艺术区成立第二所空间，是最早入驻中国的有国际艺术项目的外国画廊；三年后，常青在法国巴黎郊外的穆琳将一座占地10,000平米的废弃工厂改造成致力于大型艺术植入项目和展览的艺术空间。
2015年古巴哈瓦那开启新的征程，用当代艺术击穿所有壁垒。2020年，常青在意大利罗马的瑞吉酒店开辟了一个室内空间；同年在巴西圣保罗帕卡恩布足球场观众席下方设立空间，大胆地将艺术品带出室内展厅，与足球场上的运动员和游客们共享开阔的土地。2021年，常青在巴黎市中心玛莱区新开了一处集观展、休闲、购物为一体的展览空间；同年又在迪拜地标——阿拉伯塔帆船酒店内开辟了一处快闪空间。2024年，常青画廊又于巴黎马提尼翁的中心地带开设在法国的第三处空间。马提尼翁是法国西部一个充满活力，同时又历史悠久的艺术文化中心，在这里，知名国际当代画廊、现代艺术品经销商、大型拍卖行以及致力于时尚、手工艺品和生活方式的重要工作室争芳斗艳，吸引着来自世界各地的游客。2025年，常青画廊在巴西的发展迈出了关键一步：新空间正式入驻圣保罗黑根诺波利斯（Higienópolis）街区的圣德肋撒教区内。该教区始建于1925年，具有悠久的历史。
Galleria Continua was founded in 1990 by Mario Cristiani, Lorenzo Fiaschi and Maurizio Rigillo, with the intention, evident in the name, to give continuity to contemporary art in a landscape rich with the signs of ancient art. Occupying a former cinema, Galleria Continua established itself and thrived in an entirely unexpected location in a town - San Gimignano – steeped in history, timeless and magnificent.
In 2004 Galleria Continua began a new adventure in Beijing, China, showing contemporary Western artists in an area where they are still little seen. Three years later, in 2007, Galleria Continua inaugurated a new peculiar site for large-scale creations - Les Moulins - in the Parisian countryside.
In 2015 Galleria Continua embarked on a new path, opening a space in La Habana, Cuba, devoted to cultural projects designed to overcome every frontier. In 2020, the same year as Galleria Continua’s thirtieth anniversary, a new space in Rome opened, dedicated to an open interculturality and new forms of dialogue and encounters between art and the public. In 2020, a space in São Paulo also opened, situated inside the Pacaembu sports complex. In early 2021 a new space opened in Paris in the heart of the Marais, just a few steps from the Centre Pompidou. In the same year, the gallery also inaugurated a space inside the most iconic hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai. In 2024,Galleria Continuaopened a third French space in the heart of Matignon, the historic epicentre of the art market and a vibrant district in the west of Paris, where major international contemporary art galleries, modern art dealers, and iconic houses working in the fields of fashion, art, and lifestyle attract visitors from all over the world. And in 2025, Galleria Continua takes a significant step forward in its journey in Brazil with the inauguration of its new space within the premises of the Santa Teresinha Parish, founded in 1925, in the Higienópolis neighborhood of São Paulo.
