<b><span lang="EN-GB">Ivan Foletti</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"> is an art historian specializing in the study of historiography of Byzantine art and the art of Milan, Rome and Constantinople in the late antique and early medieval period. More specifically,
he studies early Christian monuments from the liturgical and ritual point of view. In addition, he is interested in using social and anthropological approaches to explore the impact of the period of migrations on art in the Mediterranean area. He directed
the Swiss national foundation <em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Ambizione</span></em> project (2013-2017), “Les morts et leurs corps comme lieu d'éthno-agrégation et de contacte: la cas d'Ambroise, de Gervais et de Protais au haut Moyen Âge,”
dedicated to the interaction between objects, relics and migrants in Milan and Lombardy in 4-10th century and the experimental project “Migrating Art Historians” (2017, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University). Currently, he is directing the project “Transforming
the Spaces and the Minds. Materiality, Performativity and Perception in the Late Antique (4th–6th century) Baptismal Zones” (2017-2019, Grant Agency of Masaryk University).</span></p>
