Ilaria Demartini

After many years spent abroad, she returned to Italy, to her homeland, the hills of Monferrato. Dynamic, curious and cosmopolitan, before graduating in History, Culture and Oriental Art at the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bologna, she spent two years in Australia and South East Asia, relating with different cultures. After graduating, thanks to a EU project, she moved to Berlin, where she lived for almost ten years, first collaborating with artists as a curator of art exhibitions and events, then becoming business partner of an art gallery in the neighbourhood of Mitte, the hub of the Berlin art scene. In particular, she focused on PR management and promoting artists at an international level. Her passion for art made her become interested in spaces and architecture, from 'content' to 'container'; she entered the world of Real Estate, finding the perfect combination in Sotheby's history and philosophy. She became a real estate agent, merging in this activity her artistic knowledge and her international background. Speaks fluent Italian, English and German.
