Who is Tiziana D'Angelo, the new young director of Paestum

Another young director for the Archaeological Park of Paestum and Velia. After Gabriel Zuchtriegel, who moved on to direct Pompeii, and without considering the interlude of Massimo Osanna who had directed the Campania park on an interim basis, the new director is another under 40: Tiziana D’Angelo, from Milan, an archaeologist born in 1983 who studied between Italy, England and the United States. Tiziana D’Angelo’s appointment came today along with the other five of the new autonomous museum directors.

Born in Milan, she received her bachelor’s degree in Classical and Oriental Antiquities from the Ghislieri College in Pavia, where she studied from 2001 to 2004 before moving in 2005 to Oxford, where she studied until 2007 on a scholarship from Ghislieri itself, and where she earned her master’s degree in Classical Archaeology. After England, the United States: in fact, in 2013 D’Angelo received his doctorate in Classical Archaeology from Harvard University with a thesis on painted tombs in southern Italy in the Classical and Hellenistic periods.

D’Angelo began working right in the United States, first as a research assistant and then as Agnes Mongan Curatorial Intern at the Harvard Art Museums, between 2009 and 2011. She was then a fellow at the Phi Beta Kappa Society in Washington, DC between 2011 and 2012, and then at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles between 2012 and 2013, then at the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut in Berlin (2013), and then again in America, at the Metropolitan Museum in New York (2013-2014). From 2014 to 2018 she taught Classical Art and Archaeology at the University of Cambridge as a lecturer, and during the same period she was director of Classical Studies at St. Edmund’s College, Cambridge. As of 2018, she was lecturer (assistant professor) of Ancient Greek and Roman Art at the University of Nottingham.

D’Angelo also has field experience, having participated in several excavation campaigns in Italy and Turkey and having collaborated on several exhibitions. As a museum director, on the other hand, she is making her debut: although she has worked in museum facilities in the past, she had never been at the helm of an institution.
