My doctoral research discussed the cultural relationships between Lucca and Rome in the 16th century, through the analysis of the artistic patronage of the Guidiccioni family, one of the most powerful families of sixteenth-century Lucca. I graduated in Humanities (BA) from the University of Rome Tor Vergata in 2010, with a thesis on the Baroque painter Luigi Garzi (1638-1721), and in History of Art (MA)from the same university in 2013, with a thesis on the decoration of the private chapel of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese in Rome (1548-1550). My research interests focus on the artistic production of sixteenth-century Rome and Tuscany, with a specific attention to the practices of artistic patronage and collecting, the relationship between art and politics and the connections between the artistic expressions and the ideas of religious reformation. I am also interested in the analysis of contemporary cultural phenomena, from the spreading of art exhibitions to present-day religious iconoclasm.
