He has been teaching Pre-Columbian Civilisations at the University of Milan since 2003 and has been co-director of the university's activities in Peru since 2006.

He has curated several exhibitions on pre-Columbian cultures and written dozens of articles and books. Some of his publications can be downloaded from: https://unimi.academia.edu/AntonioAimi

As a native of the province of Parma, he loves good food and applies scientific research methods to choosing the tastiest specialities. He has been collaborating with MUSEC since 2005 and his favourite work is the precious Maori hei-tiki pendant from the Brignoni Collection.
