About me
Trained as an art historian at the University of Venice, I have been working in the art industry holding different roles like location assistant, registrar and curator for international and local exhibitions for almost ten years. Former Cultural Mediator for the Venice Biennale, I moved to London at the end of last year. After six months in a contemporary art gallery in Central London, I'm looking for new career paths. Passionate about creative writing and well acquainted with the art topics, I am also an independent art curator and writer.
