Luigia Gio Martelloni is an Italian visual artist, curator, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. Her work is influenced by the Arte Povera movement, and it is rooted in the modern avant garde.

Between 2018 and 2019, Martelloni curated 3 international exhibitions in Southern Italy and Southern California with more than 60 artists. With a cross-disciplinary reach, her artistic repertoire includes creative collaborations with Francis Ford Coppola, Dean Tavoularis and Luigi Comencini, and reflects a roster of acclaimed theatre productions and documentary films. Martelloni received her MFA from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, and studied at UCLA extension, Entertainment studies/ Directing and at the Santa Monica College with a focus on Photography.
