DIRECTOR OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARKS

Tiziana D'Angelo

Born in Milan in 1983, Tiziana D’Angelo entered the Collegio Ghislieri in 2001 and graduated with full honors in 2004, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Classical and Oriental Antiquities, with a dissertation on Etruscan painting, under the supervision of Prof. Maurizio Harari.

From 2005 to 2007, she studied at the University of Oxford, supported by a scholarship from Collegio Ghislieri, and earned a Master of Research in Classical Archeology.


She then moved to the United States, where, in 2013, she completed a PhD in Classical Archeology at Harvard University focusing on painted tombs in Southern Italy during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. During her doctoral studies, she taught in the Department of Classics at Harvard and worked first as a Research Assistant and later as an Agnes Mongan Curatorial Intern at the Harvard Art Museums (2009-11).

She received several prestigious awards and scholarships, enabling her to spend a year conducting research in Rome as a Mary Isabel Sibley Fellow in Greek Studies from the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Washington (2011-12), and another year in Los Angeles as a Research Fellow at the Getty Research Institute (2012-13).

After completing her PhD, she continued her research in Berlin as a Research Fellow of the Archaeological Institute of America and the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (2013), followed by a role in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Department of Greek and Roman Art as a Jane and Morgan Whitney Postdoctoral Fellow (2013-14).

In 2014, she was awarded a Lectureship in Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Cambridge (2014-18), where she also served as a Fellow, Director of Studies in Classics, and Tutor at St Edmund’s College, Cambridge.

Since September 2018, Tiziana D’Angelo has served as an Assistant Professor in Ancient Greek and Roman Art at the University of Nottingham, within the Department of Classics and Archeology.

 

She has participated in archaeological excavations in Italy and Turkey, collaborated on exhibition projects in Italian and international museums, and contributed to the production of documentaries.

 

Her research interests span the Greek, Roman, Etruscan, and Italic worlds, with a particular focus on ancient painting, art and archeology of Southern Italy, and the reception of classical art in the modern era.

 

Her studies on ancient painting explore both iconographic and iconological aspects as well as technical questions related to the use of pigments. For several years, she has also been investigating the interactions between indigenous, Greek, and Roman populations in Southern Italy during the first millennium BCE.

 

Her extensive collaborations with museums have provided her with the opportunity to work with antiquities collections, exploring the ancient art market from the 18th to the 20th century.
