Current projects:
I am a PhD student in Art History and Visual Culture (AHVC) investigating the communicative phenomenon of the Italian Talking Statues as spaces of contestation from the Renaissance to the present day. The thesis focuses on their integration in the urban and social fabric of Rome during the Renaissance and their subsequent cultural dissemination through other media and beyond geographical boundaries from spatial and cross-chronological approaches. Furthermore, I explore the combination of offline spaces of communication with social media through the case study of the statue of Pasquino in contemporary Rome. In 2020/21 I have worked as Postgraduate Teaching Assistant at AHVC.
