Profile

I am a Conservation Scientist specialised in wood technology and preventive conservation in the Cultural Heritage field (Esperta di scienze e tecnologie applicate ai Beni Culturali).

l hold a bachelor’s degree in Diagnostic tools and Materials for Conservation and Restoration (L43 - Diagnostica e Materiali per la Conservazione e il Restauro), obtained at Università degli Studi di Firenze in 2014, after a six-month study period at the faculty of Conservção e Restauro (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal). I obtained my MSc degree in Science and Materials for Conservation and Restoration (LM11 - Scienze e Materiali per la Conservazione e il Restauro), at Università degli Studi di Firenze in 2016. In 2019 I concluded a Second Level Master for Experts in evaluation and preservation of Cultural Heritage (CH) (Università degli Studi di Roma Tre).

I worked as a CH researcher at Maastricht University and SRAL (Netherlands) between 2017 and 2018, and I joined DAGRI Department in 2020 as a research fellow for the research project “Innovative models for PREventive conservation in MUseums and post-emergency DEpots” (PREMUDE).

Research interests and PhD project

My research interests deal with scientific tools and technologies applied to the study of Cultural Heritage (CH) materials. My research activity has always focused on the implementation of informed conservation and restoration activities, particularly supported by environmental monitoring campaigns and evaluation of conservation conditions of CH goods and collections, with possible integration of a sustainable approach.

My PhD project aims to bridge the gap between technological research and museum and conservation practice. The project’s primary objective is the scientific study of application of IoT-based (Internet of Things) technologies to the conservation and preventive care of hygroscopic cultural heritage, with a focus on wooden artefacts. Collaborating with different cultural institutions, such as conservation laboratories and museums, will be necessary to apply the methodology to case studies, and to promote an efficient and sustainable conservation service that fills the gap between technological developments and cultural institution practice.
