Dott.ssa Liletta Fornasari
Who I am
Passionate about art, I graduated with Mina Gregori in Florence, convinced that the history of art is the synthesis of numerous concepts and aspects, I love my work, alternating teaching with research.
Working while having fun is an absolute privilege and I feel very lucky. Through works of art, it is possible to develop significant mental and intellectual paths that lead to inner growth.
The Center for Historical Artistic Studies
Il Centro di Studi Storico Artistici was born in 1995, following a radical change of life and the need to work, being the mother of three children.
After the initial experimental moment, awareness was also born of the usefulness for others and the pleasure that they derive from lessons or visits.
Great satisfaction was that of having succeeded without realizing that I was giving help not only to knowledge but also to feeling good, thanks to the fact that “beauty” or Beauty helps. Course-goers are passionate and have very different ages and school curricula.
A diploma or qualification is not required.
The Center carries out a manifold series of activities. The first is the didactic one through preparatory courses in History of Art, including face-to-face and online courses for schools, as well as private, both for adults and for children accompanied by visits to Museums, Exhibitions, and collections, reserved only for participants. Other activities are Expertise and consultancy of works of art and antiques, Consultancy for antique and design furnishings, Market research of antiques, modern antiques, and vintage.
Among the activities, there are also thematic Mini-Courses, both face-to-face and online. The list of activities also includes lectures, book presentations, and the organization of cultural events aimed primarily at participants. The research activity also includes the organization of exhibitions, including contemporary art and debut artists.
Publications
Liletta has numerous publications and writes regularly for the newspaper La Nazione in Arezzo. She also has a weekly spot on TG Teletruria on the local news where she speaks about art. She curated the exhibition that celebrated the 500th birth anniversary of Giorgio Vasari in 2011 and co-authored the catalogue Giorgio Vasari. Disegnatore e Pittore. "Istudio, diligenza et amorevole fatica" with Alessandra Baroni and Alessandro Cecchi.

Professor Och teaches courses in Renaissance and Baroque art history; seminars on the city of Venice, Michelangelo, Bernini, and women and Western art; museum studies; and the department’s survey courses on Western art.
