Research: Graphic arts Cabinets in Europe: Between conservation, musealisation, and early audiences (1779 to 1850)
Lucia Germani (Verona, 1998) is a PhD fellow at Sapienza University of Rome (41st cycle) and a postgraduate student at the School of Specialization in Art History at the University of Siena.
She graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Conservation and Management of Cultural Heritage from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (2021) and earned her Master’s degree in Art History from Roma Tre University (2024), with a thesis entitled "I Progetti architettonici per ogni specie di fabriche in stili ed usi diversi di Giuseppe Valadier (1807): analysis and commentary", supervised by Professors Silvia Ginzburg and Giovanna Capitelli.
During her studies, she spent research periods at the Université de Tours and at the École du Louvre in Paris, and completed internships at the Museum of Palazzo Grimani in Venice, the Bibliothèque nationale de France — where she contributed to the cataloguing of the collection of Italian drawings (15th–21st centuries) of the Departement of Prints — and the Vatican Museums, where she took part in research activites related to the restoration site of the Sala Ducale in the Apostolic Palace.
In July 2025, she was awarded a post-graduate research fellowship by the Changes Foundation within the project "Along the Aqueduct: Artists Working on Architectural and Decorative Projects for Humanist Patrons along the Route of the Aqua Virgo”. She has also collaborated with Italian and international art galleries.
