Chiara has served as a preschool and elementary school teacher in her native Italy, a university art professor and an assistant in Oak Meadow’s Beginners classroom. Next year, Chiara brings her robust range of experience to the art studio! Chiara’s heartfelt love of Montessori will be a valuable supplement to her passion for art as she expands the program to include our Beginners students.

Chiara’s current credentials include a PhD in Art History, and a Masters of Art in Italian Literature and Art History, both earned in Italy. Chiara taught Renaissance Art History at the college level (Tufts University and Clark University) and Italian Literature and History in high schools. She has extensive experience in working with museums and art institutions in Italy, the UK and Boston as a research curator and assistant. She has worked as a museum educator and taught art in preschools and elementary schools as an undergraduate.

Chiara enjoys spending time with her family (including her cats!), going to the library, visiting museums and traveling.
