Barbara still remembers the impression the Duomo of Milan, her hometown, had on her as a toddler. In summer school at age 15, she answered the question “what would you like to do for a living?” with a resounding “be a Medieval art historian!”

If Barbara had to answer now, 25 years later, she would declare herself an art historian, with a Master degree in Medieval Art History, and a Post-Master in Museum Studies and Cultural Management. Since the early 2010's she has been working in globally known institutions, as lecturer and cultural facilitator.
