Pasquale Focarile received his MA degree in art history at University of Pisa in 2012 and his PhD from the University of Florence (Pegasus International Doctoral programme in History of the Visual and Performing Arts; Universities of Florence-Pisa-Siena / Regione Toscana) in 2016, under the supervision of Prof.ssa Cinzia M. Sicca. In 2017 Firenze University Press awarded Dr. Focarile with the “Premio Tesi di Dottorato 2016” for best doctoral dissertation in humanities field. His doctoral research examines the evolution of the patterns of display of art in the private mansions of a noble Florentine family, the Mannelli, and illustrates the varying importance attributed to art in the representation of the aristocratic identity of the family over the long period of transformation from merchants to courtiers. His research at the Medici Archive Project focuses on the production of family trees (painted, drawn and engraved) in Tuscany between the 16th and 20th centuries, and on its display in the domestic setting.
