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.

Why not plunge yourself in the flow of art history, from the Greeks to the avant-garde of the 20th century in a single day? As your private art historian, I will provide you with the unrepeatable opportunity to stroll in these two museums, by discovering works unknown by many and reading behind the signs of time and the artists' brush strokes. We will explore a former royal palace and an ancient train station, run into the "must-see" artworks, and "meet" the artists who have contributed to writing the history of art. From the Venus of Milo to the Gioconda, passing through the Nike of Samothrace at the Louvre, we will continue by discovering the main 19th and 20th centuries art movements at the Musée d'Orsay. We will revive artists' secrets and scandals, and the true history hiding behind the paintings that made art history. . . We'll stroll inside these spaces, their sculpture naves, elevated walkways until discovering the masterpieces they contain.
Both tours are two hour-long, with an hour's break in between. Highlights of the tours: At the Louvre *Medieval Louvre *Greek & Roman antiquities (Venus de Milo, Victory of Samothrace) *Apollo Gallery *Italian art (… I am an Italian art historian … so … do I really have to tell you why it's worth it?) *French art (Gericault, Delacroix…) *Italian Sculptors (Canova's Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, Michelangelo's Slaves…) In Orsay *Sculpture 1850-1910 (Rodin…) *Academic (Ingres…) *Realism (Millet…) *Courbet and Bazille (The history of the painted studio) *Manet *The Impressionists' gallery: Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cezanne… *Post Impressionism: Van Gogh and Gauguin *Toulouse Lautrec I am available to custom your visit according to your specific needs.
