معرفی
Anna Bortolozzi is a Professor of Art History at the Department of Culture and Aesthetics, Stockholm University, where she has worked since 2015. Holding an MA from Ca' Foscari University (1995) and a PhD from IUAV, Venice (2005), her expertise spans early modern architecture, focusing on the interplay between architectural practice and cultural identity, the materiality of drawings, and transnational architectural knowledge transfer between Italy and Sweden.
- Specializes in 17th-century Italian-Roman architecture and 18th-century Swedish tracing techniques
- Director of Graduate Studies in Art History since 2022
- Published extensively on Vatican Grottos, Gunnar Asplund’s Stockholm City Library, and Renaissance guidebooks
Her groundbreaking work on transparent paper in 18th-century architectural workshops – supported by The Getty Foundation – has produced a digital exhibition at Nationalmuseum Stockholm. She has also explored Nordic Classicism through Gunnar Asplund’s material aesthetics and is currently researching 119th–20th-century plate books in Sigurd Lewerentz’s library. Among other distinctions, she held a Max Planck postdoctoral fellowship (2005–2006) and was Visiting Senior Scholar at Cambridge University’s Ax:son Johnson Centre (2024).
Bortolozzi’s method combines material analysis with interdisciplinary collaboration, as seen in her pedagogical project on art object engagement (2017). Her research has been funded by major Swedish foundations including Riksbankens Jubileumsfond and the Wallenberg family trusts. She supervises PhD candidates in topics ranging from 17th-century noble monuments to Italian architects in Nordic regions.
