Born in Rome in 1997, after high school Eleonora De Giovanni continued her studies at the Sapienza University of Rome.
In 2021 she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Art History with a thesis entitled “Giacomo Balla e la Teosofia: il percorso verso l'astrazione”, supervised by Prof. Ilaria Schiaffini.
In 2023 she graduated cum laude with a master's degree in Art History with a thesis entitled "La mostra surrealista alla Biennale di Venezia del 1954", with Prof. Ilaria Schiaffini as supervisor and Prof. Claudio Zambianchi as co-supervisor.
In the course of her training in 2021 she carried out an internship with the Fondazione MAXXI and was the winner of the Sapienza University of Rome's call for applications for the selection of eight trainees to be included in the first project of the Venice Biennale's International Centre for Contemporary Arts Research and ASAC - Historical Archives of the Contemporary Arts of the Venice Biennale with the Universities entitled "Mappa Geopolitica degli artisti che hanno partecipato alle Biennali negli ultimi 20 anni, dal 1999 al 2020".
In 2022 she was the winner of the national call for proposals with a grant "Scrivere in Residenza. Scrivere di Arte 2022" by the Biennale College ASAC of La Biennale di Venezia, which allowed her to carry out research in the Historical Archives of Contemporary Arts and the Library of La Biennale di Venezia with the aim of publishing her essay "Il Surrealismo disinnescato. La mostra surrealista alla Biennale del 1954”. Immediately after her master's degree, she compiled sixteen catalogue entries for the exhibition “Boccioni. Prima del Futurismo”, which opened in September 2023 at the Fondazione Magnani-Rocca.
