Teaching Philosophy
“History and Art History are to be considered as ways to represent the present as well as the past, and provide students with new ways of deconstructing and reconstructing themselves. “
What Students Should Bring to the Umbra Experience
“Diversity is the main resource students can bring to the group: one’s own way to study, to read, to speak, to look. Encouraging alternative approaches is the base of creating our common vocabulary.”
Favorite Teaching Moment
“Whenever I have the feeling of being something real, myself, between frescoes, paintings, sculptures and students’ eyes, the feeling of being for them the gate to a new city.”
