About

Annali Garcia is the president and lead restorer of Bottega Di Anna Maria Luisa, a DTI registered company in Manila that was established in Italy in 2002. Upon completing her post-graduate studies in Florence, she registered as an artesan with CCIAA (Camera di Commercio, Industria, Agricoltura e Artigianato) in the Tuscan Region.

After her consultancy with Museo de Intramuros in 2010, she registered her own company with DTI. By June 2021, she became an associate member of BACPR (British Association of Conservators and Painting Restorers), based in London.  

She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design at the UP Diliman. She ranked 6th in the 1991 PRC licensure board exams. Her MFA at Universidad de Salamanca in the region of Castilla y Leon, Spain was graded Sobresaliente. Her three-year training at Instituto per l'Arte e il Restauro in Florence makes her qualified to restore artifacts for museums, and private collectors.

Her training and formal residency with Italian maestros make her one of the more qualified professionals in this field in the Asia Pacific region today. Many of her sub-suppliers and staff assistants are local youth, helping them amidst the pandemic.
