It was a privilege to take part in the launch of the Art Market & Finance Monitor, a new research platform developed at SDA Bocconi under the direction of Professor Andrea Rurale to bring greater transparency and data-driven insight to the art market.

Together with Susan de Menil and the Art Antiquities Blockchain Consortium (AABC), we introduced new areas of collaboration between AABC and Bocconi, including a research project exploring how technology, ethics, and finance can contribute to visibility and accountability for artworks with uncertain provenance.

The launch followed the Art and Finance Conference organized by Deloitte at Citi in New York, led by Adriano Picinati di Torcello and Anders Petterson, which offered a forward-looking reflection on how data and transparency are reshaping the field.

The Monitor will continue to develop as a recurring research initiative, with periodic reports and analyses tracking how the art market evolves in dialogue with finance, technology, and emerging accountability frameworks. I look forward to following its next steps.

My gratitude to Professor Andrea Rurale for his vision and partnership, and to the Bocconi Alumni New York chapter, hosted by Carlo Bronzini, for bringing together such an inspiring group of alumni and friends.

The week was a reminder of how academia, technology, and the art world can come together to foster knowledge, collaboration, and a more transparent future for the market.SDA Bocconi School of Management, the Art Antiquities Blockchain Consortium (AABC), and Breakfast with Bocconi Alumni New York.
