Fernanda Marinho holds a PhD in Art History from Unicamp (2013). Her doctoral thesis is dedicated to Eugenio Battisti’s book L’Antirinascimento and twentieth-century Italian art criticism. As a postdoctoral fellow at Unifesp and the Louvre Museum (FAPESP, 2014-2018), she analyzed the comparison between the concepts of primitive, savage, and cannibal between Italy, France, and Brazil. She was assistant curator for the exhibition Raphael and the Definition of Beauty. From Divine Proportion to Grace (FIESP, 2018). From 2020 to 2022, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Bibliotheca Hertziana (Rome), where she studied the relations between Brazilian modernism and the cultural program of Italian fascism in the 1930s. In 2022, she curated two exhibitions at the Brazilian Embassy in Rome dedicated to the Empress Teresa Cristina di Borbone. In 2023, she received a research grant from the Organizzazione Internazionale Italo-latino americana (IILA) to study Brazilian indigenous artifacts preserved in the Museo delle Civiltà (Rome). Marinho is currently collaborating with the Art and Power project at the Bibliotheca Hertziana.
