The childhood wonder of Dolls & Bears brought to you by Cecilia Vicini Ronchetti.
I like the idea of objects holding special places in our lives and imagining a life that rotates around something extraordinary.
Cecilia can remember studying the “American Girl” catalogue as a ten-year-old. She often reminisces on how she would plan to empty the contents of her piggy bank to buy herself a new doll. As an adult, when she sees other people's dolls, those childhood memories are unlocked and she wonders if those individuals have the same connection to these nostalgic treasures. While Cecilia went on to earn a Master’s degree in New Media and Digital Culture, her passion for her favourite childhood doll led her to write about it in her research. From there, the curiosity and appreciation for both antique and contemporary toys continued to grow. As Dolls & Bears Expert at Catawiki, Cecilia fosters a community of passionate enthusiasts with a love of special objects and the place they hold in everyone’s lives.
