Her research explores devotional practices, private chapels, and the intersection of art and spirituality in Renaissance Italy, with a focus on cardinals’ patronage and material culture. Recent work analyzes how sketches and drawings served both artistic and religious purposes in early modern Italy.
Publications include articles on Marian imagery in Reggio Emilia and Rome, cardinal Altemps’ palatial devotions, and the Este family’s construction of cardinalial identity. Her forthcoming work examines religious devotion in villa environments and embroidery’s role in early modern sacred practices.
