Federico Giglio

Federico Giglio received his MA in Art History cum laude from Sapienza Università di Rome in January 2021 (supervisors: Marco Ruffini, Guido Rebecchini), where he was part of the Excellence Program. He completed his PhD at the same University in September 2025 with a dissertation exploring the relationship between Giorgio Vasari and the Florentine community in Rome (supervisors: Marco Ruffini, Maria Giulia Aurigemma). Before and during his doctoral studies, he held several prestigious fellowships, including the Eva Schler Fellowship at the Medici Archive Project in Florence, a research fellowship at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, and a Pre-Doctoral International Fellowship at the NIKI (Netherlands Institute for Art History) in Florence. Since April 2024, he has served as Assistant Director of the Medici Archive Project, where he is also a Senior Research Fellow. At the same institution, he organized the international workshop “Michelangelo and His Politics” in 2023, and in 2024 curated a public lecture series marking the anniversary of Giorgio Vasari’s death, which brought together some of the foremost scholars in the field. Now he’s writing a book on Giorgio Vasari and the culture of anti-Medicean exile in mid-sixteenth-century Italy.
