In 1998 she established a textile restoration and research firm together with Domenica Digilio, based primarily at the Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi in Lucca. Over twenty years of activity, the firm carried out maintenance and restoration work, museum and exhibition installations, deposit management, research and study of textile art objects, consultancy, specialist cataloguing and teaching, on behalf of numerous soprintendenze, institutions and museums across Italy. In 2008, in the field of contemporary textile art, she curated the installation of a solo exhibition by the artist Attiliana Argentieri Zanetti in the rooms of Palazzo Mansi, working alongside the artist and following her directions. Since December 2018, having succeeded in a ministerial competition, she has been a member of staff at the Opificio delle Pietre Dure as a conservator officer in the Textiles department.
