Tomaso Montanari (born 15 October 1971) is an Italian art historian, academic and essayist.

Life

He was born in Florence and there attended the liceo classico Dante, before graduating from the University of Pisa and studying alongside Paola Barocchi at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. He became ordinary professor of Modern Art History at the Università per Stranieri di Siena[1] before teaching at the Università della Tuscia, the Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata and the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II.

He is notable as one of the most authoritative authors on western Baroque art, on which he has written over one hundred essays in scholarly reviews and for noted publishers. He is president of the Comitato tecnico scientifico per le Belle Arti (technical scientific committee for fine arts) in Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, and is thus also ex officio a member of the Consiglio Universitario Nazionale. He is also a member of the Uffizi's scientific committee,[2] the editorial panel of the review Prospettiva[3] and the jury for the Premio Sila.[4]

He writes for the Il Fatto Quotidiano and the 'Ora d'Arte' column for the Il Venerdì di Repubblica. He considers himself a "radical Catholic", influenced by the ideas of Lorenzo Milani.[5]
