Mazel tov to Caterina Quareni, who took up the post as the new director of the Jewish Museum in Bologna in April.
Quareni replaces Vincenza Maugeri, who has retired after heading the museum for eight years.
Born in Bologna in 1966, Querini’s scholarly subjects include classics, archival work, and paleography.
She has worked with the museum since 2003, in the library, curating exhibitions, and organizing cultural activities.
The museum, housed in the sixteenth-century Palazzo Pannolini in the heart of the historic Jewish ghetto area, was established in 1999 and is managed by a public foundation created by the Municipality of Bologna, the Jewish Community of Bologna and the Friends of the Museum Association, supported by the Emilia-Romagna Region, the Province of Bologna and the Institute for Artistic, Cultural and Natural Heritage of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
