Chiara Gatti has been appointed as the interim director of the Museo Nivola in Orani, Sardinia, coinciding with its 30th anniversary and a program that will last until 2026. A search for a permanent director will commence shortly. Born in Luino in 1973, Gatti is an art historian and curator with credentials from Università Cattolica di Milano and Bocconi University.
