Andrea Crimi (Rome, 1999) graduated in Art History from Sapienza University of Rome with a bachelor's thesis entitled "Forms, Colors, and Meanings of Headdresses in the 16th Century from the Ancient Clothes of Cesare Vecellio," conducted with Professor Massimo Moretti and focusing on the iconographic and symbolic analysis of clothing in Renaissance fashion from the studies of Cesare Vecellio. He subsequently earned a master's degree in Art History from the same university, with a thesis entitled "Ginevra Cantofoli in 17th-Century Bologna," supervised by Professor Caterina Volpi, which focused on the rediscovery and critical acclaim of the talented Emilian painter.
He also attended the "Emerging Artists" course at Christie's Education, a department dedicated to the study of emerging artists in the contemporary art scene. During his academic career, he completed internships at the Galleria Alessandra Di Castro (Piazza di Spagna 4, Rome) and the Galleria Fabio Massimo Megna (Via del Babuino 148, Rome), where he gained experience in the management, cataloging, and promotion of ancient works of art. He also collaborated with the Galleria Alberto Di Castro (Piazza di Spagna 5, Rome) on a study project on an unpublished work by Elisabetta Sirani, contributing to its identification. She also participated in the editing of the catalog for the exhibition "The Touch of Pygmalion. Rubens and Sculpture in Rome," organized by the Galleria Borghese and published by Electa, pp. 144-145, exploring issues related to the Flemish master's collecting and critical acclaim.
