Giancarla Cilmi is an art historian (EPHE/École du Louvre) specialised in European painting from the 16th to the 18th century. Her doctoral thesis focused on the Italian collection of the Jacquemart-André Museum, the collector phenomenon and the art market between France and Italy at the end of the 19th century.
Lecturer and researcher, she took part, among other things, in the writing of several exhibition catalogues on Italian and, more generally, European painting. She also published several articles in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Giancarla has been collaborating with French and Europeans museums for some years, providing them with her unvaluable expertise.
