Rachele Zanone is an art historian who holds a PhD in History, Territory and Cultural Heritage (Doctoral program in Art history, Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Conservation) from the University of Roma 3 (2020). Her doctoral thesis focused on the study of the scenes of the Passion of Christ in Armenian miniatures from Vaspurakan (13th-14th centuries), particularly in the artistic production of the minisaturist Yovsian.

She has been recipient of international scholarships and grants, such as a Short Term Grant for Armenian Studies promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation of Lisbon (2018 and 2022) to carry out research at the "Matenadaran" Institute of Ancient Manuscripts (Yerevan, Armenia) and the Library of the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence.
