About
The interest in Modern & Contemporary Art has always played an essential role in my profession.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's Degree in Modern & Contemporary Art History from the University of Pisa, Italy, where I graduated in 2007 in Twentieth Century and Post-War Italian Art with Prof. Fabrizio D'Amico, one of the most important scholars in the field of Italian painting and sculpture of the interwar years.
My career started as a Curatorial Assistant at Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice and Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea in Rivoli (Turin), and later continued as a Gallery Assistant in Venice and Padua.
​
In 2009, I moved to Rome to assist the pioneer of Conceptual American Art, Joseph Kosuth, in the management and coordination of an international Studio's activity, including the liaison between the artist, studio team, and external galleries and institutions, as well as the production of international exhibitions and public commissions, such as:
- Joseph Kosuth, '(Waiting for - ) Texts for Nothing' Samuel Beckett, in play, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) Melbourne, Australia, December 2010 – February 2011
- Joseph Kosuth, 'Texts for Nothing' Samuel Beckett, in play, Galleria Lia Rumma, Milan, Italy, November 2010 – January 2011
- Joseph Kosuth, ni apparence ni illusion, Musée du Louvre, Paris, France, October 2009 - June 2010
- Joseph Kosuth, An Interpretation of This Title, Nietzsche, Darwin and the Paradox of Content, Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh, UK, July 2009
​
From 2014 to 2019, I joined Innauction GmbH, a small Auction House based in Innsbruck, Austria.
As I always say, working in an artist's Studio is like being part of an orchestra. But, similarly, the activity of an Auction House involves the analogous ability to be part of a cross-functional reality.
Being part of a close-knit team as a Specialist has allowed me to contribute to coordinating, developing and delivering ten international Sales (Modern & Contemporary Art - Photography - Design - Ancient Prints), including the art historical research on properties for cataloguing.
From 2017 to 2019, I led the Private Sales Department.
In this role, I managed, catalogued and sold an extensive collection of works on paper from the 1940s and 1950s by Modern British artist Graham Sutherland (wartime drawings, study portraits, standing forms, bestiaries) from a single private European ownership, establishing a network of private, commercial and institutional clients in Europe, the UK, and the USA.
​
Today, I keep working in the art market with an increased level of commitment and passion for this profession, alongside my clients.
