The passionate pursuit of Archaeology, brought to you by Alessandro Neri
I want everyone to have an inclusive experience at Catawiki – not just during the auction, but also before and after.
At five years old, Alessandro found a piece of ancient pottery in his Italian backyard. He took it to his mother, told her he wanted to become an archaeologist, and the rest is history. After he obtained his second level master’s in Medieval Archeology at the University of Florence, Alessandro deepened his curriculum with various specialisations. At universities in Barcelona, Rome and Padua, he completed programmes in Early Medieval Archaeology, Archaeometric Analysis, Anthropology of Forgery, Art Collecting, Authentication and Innovative Tools for a Culture of Legality in Cultural Heritage. He then went on to work as a consultant and curator for various galleries, auction houses and private collectors. He also continues to take part in excavations throughout the Mediterranean area, analysing sites from the prehistoric period to the Middle Ages. Alessandro has always had a deep interest in studying the techniques of production for the authentication of archaeological materials, making him particularly practised in spotting counterfeits. Find Alessandro’s immense knowledge and exciting auctions in Catawiki’s Archaeology category.
