Nicoletta Leonardi
Nicoletta Leonardi is a professor at Brera Academy of Fine Arts (Milan), where she teaches photographic history and curates the photographic collection. Her work is based on the overcoming of the history of photography as a medium-specific discipline in favour of a systemic approach to the study of different media as an integrated field of technologies, networks and artefacts. Her writings have been published extensively in exhibition catalogues, peer reviewed journals and edited volumes. She has authored two monographs, Il paesaggio americano dell’Ottocento: Pittori, fotografi, pubblico (Donzelli, 2003) and Fotografia e materialità in Italia: Vaccari, Guidi, Cresci, Ghirri (Postmedia, 2013), and co-edited (with Simone Natale) Photography and Other Media in the Nineteenth Century (Penn State University Press, 2018). Before completing her Ph.D. at UCL, she was a Fulbright Fellow at Columbia University.
