During this period, she completed an internship at the Fondazione Santagata per l'Economia della Cultura, where she contributed to projects on the management and valorisation of cultural heritage. She then collaborated with the Museo Diffuso della Resistenza, della Deportazione, dei Diritti e della Libertà in Turin, where she carried out an economic analysis of the regional and metropolitan cultural context. She then completed a first-level Master's degree in Law and Taxation of the Art Market at the 24ore Business School, where she studied the regulatory and economic dynamics of the sector, and at the same time attended the training course An Integrated Approach to Cultural Heritage Security in Italy, organised by the Turin Association of Cultural Volunteers UNI.VO.C.A. in collaboration with the Turin Carabinieri Cultural Heritage Protection Unit.  More recently, she was awarded a six-month research fellowship at the University of Turin, working on the UNESCO Cluster project, which provided her with the tools to deepen her understanding of research dynamics and analytical methodologies related to the implementation of UNESCO initiatives at the local level. Her academic and professional experience testifies to a deep commitment to cultural policies and heritage protection, with a focus on peace, trafficking and cultural security.
