ABOUT ME

Hi everyone!
My name is Ilaria,  I'm a freelance Conservator based in Rome.
I grow up surrounded by the Cultural Heritage. That's why I felt in love with the Arts since I was a child. In 2014 I graduated at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in Conservation of Cultural Heritage, specialized in paper, books and photographic material Conservation. I first started to work in my home town, Rome, doing internships and working as a freelance on Conservation projects for many private and public Institutions (Vatican Museums, Archivio Storico dell'Arma dei Carabinieri, etc...).

In 2018 I worked in US (NY) at the Rakow Research Library in the Corning Museum of Glass. That experience let me to grow up both professionally and personally. Working in a different country, I learned how to face Conservation issues looking from a "foreign" point of view. Each country has its own culture where the Conservation approach comes from. That's why I find amazing how is important to exchange ideas with colleagues from different countries.

In 2018-2019 I've been working for one year in the UK, at the University of Manchester Library. In UK I learned to be a good team player in a big team and I managed to work on many projects with strict deadlines. I had the chance to be a courier for loans and to work on exhibitions installation. On behalf of the University I promoted some of the projects I was responsible for during conferences and symposiums (May '19, Edinburgh - Oct. '19 Craiova - Nov. '19 London).
It has been a great, motivating and challenging experience! 

Today I'm a freelance Conservator. I've my own studio and I collaborate with private and public Institutions in Italy and abroad.
I'm an enthusiastic person and I love my job.
