Her academic background underpins a rigorous approach to authenticity, provenance and historical context, particularly in relation to political, literary and archival material.

Her professional interests centre on historic autographs, manuscripts and documents, and she has been widely published in Italian art history journals on related subjects. This research-led perspective allows her to place material accurately within both a scholarly and commercial framework.
