Mariano Saggiomo, Ph.D.

Mariano Saggiomo received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Art History from the University of Naples Federico II, where he then conducted doctoral research under the supervision of Prof. Francesco Caglioti and Prof. Bianca De Divitiis, working on the lay patronage of places of worship and sacred topography. Starting with a study on the patronage of Cardinal Oliviero Carafa, and specifically of the Succorpo del Duomo in Naples, he later broadened the horizon of his research by devoting his attention to the private churches of the ancient district of Montagna in Naples and then to the entire historic centre of the city.
He was a member of the project of digitalisation of textual sources for Neapolitan Art History curated by the Fondazione Memofonte in Florence under the direction of Prof. Francesco Caglioti.
He has participated, as scholarship recipient, in the project “Advanced Modalities of Interaction”, funded by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) in collaboration with the Department of Humanities of the University of Naples Federico II, aimed at cataloguing the heritage of the Museo Civico Gaetano Filangieri in Naples.
He has worked on sixteenth-, seventeenth-, and eighteenth-century collecting, participating in the creation of the scientific catalogue of both the Museo Civico Gaetano Filangieri and the Pio Monte della Misericordia.
He has held teaching positions in the Tourism Science course of the Department of Economics and Statistics of the University of Naples Federico II.
