Hi there, my name is Pamela, and I am an Italian Art Historian. I'm a professor of art history, with a PhD in history and theories of arts (Paris 8 University), and I have lived in Paris since 2012. Currently, I am a professor of art history at the University of Architecture (ENSAPB) of Paris-Belleville. Since 2013, I've been an affiliated researcher at the University of Paris 8, specialising in modern and contemporary art, the history of art collections, and museum architecture. In the past 14 years, I have been a researcher at the Pompidou Centre and a lecturer in art history at various Parisian Universities, including Paris 8 University, the National Institute of Art History (INHA), and the School of Architecture Paris-Malaquais. As an art historian and museum guide, I have organised visits to the most important Parisian museums, galleries, and foundations (Louvre, Orsay, Pompidou, Louis Vuitton Fondation, Palais de Tokyo, Musée Rodin . . . ), I've participated in many international conferences, and I've published three books and several scientific papers. With my students and my travellers, we have experienced art differently. I pursue an active pedagogy to foster creative vision and to accompany viewers during their encounter with art. Art must be lived, touched, and listened to through a visual and spatial experience. Visiting a museum doesn't just mean seeing a set of artworks; it is rather a matter of understanding its history, its soul, its relationship with space, and with you. So, come visit the most beautiful Parisian museums with me and enjoy art as you never have before! ------------ PhD in Art History - Paris 8 University (2015) Master's in History and Criticism of Art - Milan University (2011) Bachelor's in Theory and Practice of Contemporary Artistic Languages - Academy of Fine Arts in Bergamo - IT (2004-2008) Bachelor's in Theory and Practices of Conservation and Restoration - "Lorenzo Lotto" Private School, Bergamo - IT (2004) ------------ Qualified for Associate Professorship in History of Art, Visual Arts, and Architecture (2016-2019) Awarded “APAHAU for Young Researchers in History of Art” (2016) National Licensed Guide Card by Ministère de la Culture (2014) Member AAH – Association for Art History – London (2014-/) Member RSA - Renaissance Society America (2017-/) ------------ Affiliated Researcher - Lab.

    Pamela was outstanding!! Our family toured the Louvre with her, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip to Paris. Pamela holds a Ph.D. in Art History, and it shows in the very best way. Her depth of knowledge is extraordinary, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to transform that expertise into captivating storytelling. She shared...

    Pam is by far the best art historian I have ever met at Tours by Locals. Her knowledge is deep and she enjoys questions. Im not at all surprised that she was chosen for a Golden Guide award. I highly recommend her tours.

    Pamela was a delight to tour the museum with. She clearly knows and loves the Louvre and knows how to educate without it feeling like a lecture. She made the paintings come alive for my family and helped us get so much more out of our visit. And my daughter who is studying art loved talking to her. I’m very glad we had her with us for this visit.

    Dear Peter, Thank you for your feedback! I really enjoyed the conversation with you all. I wish you all the best, and in particular your daughter, a great career in art.
