Specifically, she deals with the study of treatises on the history of methods of representation, first of all the De prospectiva pingendi - for which the doctor participated in the publication of the National Critical Edition with a group of scholars coordinated by Prof. Marisa Dalai Emiliani – and the Two Rules of Practical Perspective by Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola and Egnazio Danti.
