Italian but with French schooling in the US and in Rome, followed by a degree at the University of Florence, Manoli is passionate about history in general and Florentine history in particular. After several mission appointments with the United Nations, he returned to Europe where, for the past twenty years, he has worked in the art-world, both on the commercial side, in art auctions, and in publishing of art books and catalogues. Today Manoli lives in Florence where he enjoys sharing insights about the city’s fascinating history and heritage. He’s been a member of ICOM since 2004.
