She graduated with a thesis in Philosophy from the University of Rome La Sapienza in 1952 and then further specialized in art history in Florence in 1956 with the art historian Roberto Longhi. Volpi then taught in the universities of Cagliari and Rome. Volpi worked in 17th and 18th century modern art and contemporary art and wrote papers on Impressionism, the symbolism, the expressionism. Volpi taught until 2003. In 2004 she was appointed Emeritus Professor of History of Contemporary Art.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
