Biography

My childhood experience living in Rome was instrumental in the formation of my academic passions: art history and Italian. At Cambridge, I am pursuing both of these subjects in my study of neo-Classical art and architecture. I focus on this period because I am fascinated by the ways in which 18th- and 19th-century travelers to Italy reinterpreted ancient Rome's artistic vocabulary in their own works. I also study how these foreign visions, in turn, shaped contemporary Italian artistic practice.
