Graduated from the Central Restoration Institute of Rome (ISCR), with a double specialization in painting and sculpture, as well as a master’s degree in Science and Technology (Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, Paris I University), Cinzia Pasquali has directed several large-scale restoration projects in Italy, such as the churches of Donna Regina Nuovo in Naples and Santa Barbara dei Librari in Rome, as well as the restoration of numerous paintings, among which are the copper paintings by Dominiquin and Ribera in the Treasure of St. Januarius Chapel in Naples.
Based in France since 1990, she directed the restoration of complex monumental projects, including the Apollo Gallery at the Louvre, the Hall of Mirrors at the Château de Versailles, the Grande Singerie at the Château de Chantilly and, more recently, the decorations of the Chancellerie d’Orléans.
She works for the Center of Research and of Restoration of the Museum of France (C2RmF), where she restored emblematic works such as Saint Anne, the Virgin, and Child Jesus playing with a Lamb by Leonardo da Vinci (Louvre Museum, Paris), the Portrait of Simonetta Vespucci by Piero de Cosimo (Condé Museum, Chantilly), as well as Saint George Slaying the Dragon, a masterpiece by Paolo Uccello (Jacquemart-André museum, Paris).
In her workshop, she develops a specificity around the diagnosis of paintings and is regularly solicited by national and international museums for the realization of preliminary studies.
