Main work

experiences.

From 2014 to 2018 I collaborated with several private companies in the field of cataloging.I have carried out cataloging work on examples from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, as well as modern and periodical printed texts. Over the year I have carried out numerous cataloging and inventory recovery interventions at various public and private libraries throughout the country.
The passion for rare and ancient books led me above all to the world of collecting, collaborating with various antique bookstores and numerous private individuals on national and international territory, among these the Library of the Capodimonte Astronomical Observatory in Naples.
I carry out evaluations, researches, acquisitions et  authentications of the book heritage and / or rare and valuable texts, documents and antique prints. This new assignment takes me around Italy and the world in search of copies or for commissions from bookstores and bibliophiles.


In 2019 I am the intermediary of the work: Il Decamerone de messer Giouanni Boccaccio ... printed in Venice in 1518 by Augustino de Zanni da Portese and of the original ukiyo-e Suikoden series of 1836 by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. In 2020 I work for an American bibliophile to research the very rare 1597 edition of Henning Grosse: Magica De Spectris et Apparitionibus spirituum. of Between 2021 and 2022 I researched and purchased on behalf of a French collector some very rare editions of occult texts such as the Malleus Maleficarum edition of 1519, the Démonomanie des Sorciers by Jean Bodin of 1580, the Compendium Maleficarum by Francesco Maria Guaccio of 1608 and the 1633 edition of Martin del Rio's Disquisitionum Magicarum.

I also deal with the research and acquisition of rare and valuable volumes for some Italian libraries and the design and creation of catalogs for individuals, websites, logos and social media (in 2020 social manager of the Netphilo Publishing company in Milan). the first national “Online Book Fair”, obtaining over 200 thousand views. In the second edition, re-launched on February 1, 2021, I obtained the support of Isabel Allende, Glenn Cooper and D'ORO Collection with over 1 million views. In September 2021 I am the manager of the Dante 1321-2021 digital project organized by the Tuscan Bibliographic Society, the State Archives of Siena, the Accademia della Crusca and numerous illustrious Tuscan associations and the Aldus club.
