Anna Maria Francini Ciaranfi, allieva di Pietro Toesca e Adolfo Venturi. Il percorso di un"umile collaboratrice' nella difesa del patrimonio storico artistico e nella ricerca. (Corsican)

Anna Maria Francini Ciaranfi was a brilliant pupil of the advanced school founded by Adolfo Venturi. Admitted in the academic year 1926-27, during the course of studies developed a research activity with articles published in major magazines. Research was the basic formation for the direction of museums. Her library, with volumes rich of marginal notes, documents her training especially with european museum catalogues acquired during a study trip wich took place thanks a scholarship. In 1933 Ciaranfi was appointed ispettrice aggiunta in Siena. Her diary documents the care of works of art. My work alongside Ciaranfi in Florence after the flood introduced me to the history of collections and museums. Ciaranfi passed on her knowledge and welcomed the innovative plans of Sandra Pinto in the Galleria d'Arte moderna of Pitti Palace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
