Irene specialised in Italian Renaissance Art and her doctoral thesis looked at the artistic patronage of the Vespucci family in fifteenth-century Florence. She was an intern at the Queen's Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse and collaborated with the Education Department of the National Galleries of Scotland. Irene currently teaches History of Art at the University of Edinburgh. Edinburgh stole her heart and it is now her second home.

Dr Mariani's love of Glasgow is contagious.
Dr. Mariani offers an excellent and well organized presentation. A little history, a lot of culture and a great outline for potential visitors. She is an excellent presenter and uses great visuals.
This virtual tour was conducted with such enthusiasm coupled with extensive knowledge it was a pleasure. Highly recommend
