BA degree in DAMS: Drama, Art, and Music Studies from the University of Turin and a MA (with honours) in Communication and Promotion of Contemporary Artistic Heritage from the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin (Italy). Before joining the Ph.D. program, she was awarded a scholarship for an exchange study program in media studies at Carlos III University of Madrid and photography at Bezalel Academy of Arts in Jerusalem. From 2018-2022 she has been a research fellow at the Historical Archive of the Museum of Criminal Anthropology "Cesare Lombroso" of the University of Turin, investigating and cataloguing its photographic heritage. In 2019, she was selected to participate in the conference "RJ#04 History of photography - Junior research in Italy" promoted by Roma Tre University and she participated in the seminar "Race in the Medical Museum: Collections and Exhibitions" organized by Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, Leiden (The Netherlands). Since 2020 she has been involved in the research project "Italy - Cuba in the XV-XX centuries: cultural boundaries and experiences of circulation, reception, hybridization" of the Department of Historical Studies of the University of Turin.

These iconographic documents, in which Italian brigands are portrayed, represent the re-visitation of some of the photographs published in the second (1878), third (1884) and fifth (1897) editions of L’uomo delinquente. In preparation for printing, they were made in order to improve the poor quality of the images but also to correct the atavistic traits of the faces depicted, accentuating their size if they were not evident enough or multiplying them if they were too faint. In our study, we will present the works and the contribution they made to the fabrication of the physical signs of the born criminal: their story recounts not only some aspects of the Lombroso method, but also the nonlinear development of the different media and their reciprocal relations.
