Elisabetta Pozzetti

Elisabetta Pozzetti was born just over 30 years ago
in a late November drowsy, rainy morning.
She is welcomed by the mists of the Reggio Emilia plains, so dear to Fellini, the land of Peppone
and Don Camillo, Zavattini and Ligabue.
Grows up in a house of artists, amongst cats, books, paintings and antiques. Undecided between Veterinary Science and Preservation of Cultural Property, opts for the latter completed by four years of restoration studies. After graduation, she works
at the Centre for Communication Studies and Archive of Parma University, where she had the extraordinary chance to work on twentieth-century artworks, often overrated in textbooks.
Postgraduate studies include Economy and Management of Museums at Ferrara University and Historic and Artistic Patrimony at Bologna University.
