Alice Isabella Leone is a PhD candidate in History of Art at Sapienza University of Rome, with a research project on monochrome art in the Italian context of the 1960s and 1970s. At the aforementioned University she obtained a bachelor’s degree, a master's degree and a post-graduate Diploma (Scuola di Specializzazione) in Artistic Historical Heritage (all cum laude). During her studies, she was an exchange student in the department of History of Art at the University Sorbonne-Paris IV, she took part in the training course offered by the Central Institute for Catalogue and Documentation - ICCD in Rome and in the advance training course in Museology and Museography at Palazzo Butera in Palermo. In 2022 she received a research grant from Sapienza University of Rome to work on the project “Yves Klein e gli artisti italiani negli anni Sessanta”. Since 2023 she is a Teaching Assistant in History of Contemporary Art at the same University. She has collaborated with various institutions, such as the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Vatican Museums. She currently collaborates with the Fondazione Baruchello in Rome. She is the author of a number of scientific publications on monochrome Italian art from the second half of the twentieth century and on contemporary museology practices.

Her study focuses on artistic practices that, starting from what has historically been defined as "monochrome", they have rethought its conceptual assumptions in a critical reconfiguration of a transcultural and transnational Europe. The objective of the research is to propose a reading that goes to reconsider the interpretation of Western monochrome art, through a investigation on the practice of the Italian artist Fiamma Montezemolo, an exemplary case of a research that brings together the use of single color to the themes of nationalism and migration.
