Biography
She earned her doctorate in Architecture from the University of Florence under Leonardo Ricci where she was assistant professor in the Department of Architecture from 1976 to 1980. In 1983 she met Florentine painter, Nerina Simi, and joined Simi’s atelier where she studied drawing and painting until 1987. There Dolci understood her true vocation was in fine art.
Dolci has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions over the years, including a major exhibition in Pietrasanta, Italy, in 2018, “The Sweet Noise of LIfe”. That same year Dolci was awarded the prestigious “Caterina de Medici Prize” by the International Medicean Academy of Florence, reserved to great contemporary women who have distinguished themselves in their professional careers. Her work is in collections world-wide.
