Paola Bertucci focuses on the intersections of science, technology, and medicine in seventeenth and eighteenth-century Europe. Her research encompasses visual material cultures, the politics of display, and artisanal knowledge. She has published extensively on topics such as the social history of experimental physics in Italy and England, the silk industry, and industrial espionage across Europe and the Atlantic. Bertucci is the author of several monographs, including 'Land Marvels: Science, Fabricated Realities, Industrial Espionage in the Age of the Grand Tour' (2023), which examines the relationship between science and information cultures in the 18th century through the lens of medical controversy and print culture.

She has received multiple awards for her contributions to the field, including the Paul Bunge Prize and the Louis Gottschalk Prize. Bertucci has also played a significant role in curating exhibitions that bridge the history of science with the broader public, notably at Yale University’s Peabody Museum and art galleries.
