Fernanda Marinho is a SNSF Swiss Post-Doctoral Fellow (Marie Curie-SPF) at the Institute of Art History at the University of Zurich, where she is developing the project Displacement, Translation, Desire: Italian Art in Brazil during the Fascist Era.
Marinho defended her Ph.D. thesis in Art History at the University of Campinas (Brazil, 2013), with a one-year research internship (2012) at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. In her thesis, she studied Eugenio Battisti's L'Antirinascimento and 20th century Italian art criticism on Mannerism. From 2014 to 2018, Marinho was a postdoctoral fellow at the Federal University of São Paulo, with a year of research at the Musée du Louvre (2015–2016), where she compared the concepts of primitive, sauvage, and cannibal in Italian art historiography, French surrealism, and Brazilian anthropophagy, respectively. In 2018, she was assistant curator of the exhibition Raphael and the Definition of Beauty, held in São Paulo (FIESP). From 2020 to 2022, Marinho was a postdoctoral fellow at the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History, within the research group Italy in a Global Context, studying the relationship between Brazilian modernism and the cultural program of Italian fascism. In 2022, she curated two exhibitions at the Brazilian Embassy, in Rome, on the cultural exchange between Brazil and Italy promoted by Empress Teresa Cristina di Borbone. In 2023, as a fellow of the Organizzazione Internazionale Italio-Latino americana (IILA), she studied Brazilian Indigenous artifacts kept at the Museo delle Civiltà, in Rome. That same year, Marinho also served as an assessor for the Getty Foundation's project Art and Power: Decolonizing the History of Art.
