Conservator-restorer and art historian, Angela Cerasuolo is professor of History and Methodology of Conservation and History of Art Techniques at the University of Siena.
She was previously a staff member of the Ministry of Culture. She has carried out restorations on paintings belonging to museums and churches in Naples, including works by Bellini, Raphael, Titian and directed interventions on museum works carried out by independent restorers. Since 2016, she has headed the Department of Conservation of the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte.
The practice of conservation prompted the study on the history and theory of restoration and on painting techniques, by comparing the data of research in art history with those derived from diagnostic investigations. She has participated in several international conferences and collaborated on teaching and research projects with universities, research institutes and museums (Federico II of Naples, University of Tuscia of Viterbo, University of Roma Tre, University of Campania "Vanvitelli", LAMS-Laboratoire d'Archéologie Moléculaire et Structurale of CRNS-Sorbonne Université in Paris, ISPC-Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences of CNR, Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Prado in Madrid, National Gallery in London, Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, National Gallery in Washington).
