Presentation

I was born in Volterra (1973) and live in Siena with my son (b. 2004). 

My main research interest is the medieval Latin tradition of commentaries on Aristotle's De anima and its manuscript witnesses. 

I am the contact person for the DFCLAM philosophical area.

Since 2023 I have been a member of the Comitato per la Ricerca Etica nelle Scienze Umane e Sociali of the University of Siena (CAREUS) https://www.unisi.it/ricerca/..

Since 2000 I have been a member of the Società Italiana per lo Studio del Pensiero Medievale, and since 2024 of its governing board; since 2000 of the Société Internationale pour l'Étude de la Philosophie Médiévale; since 2022 of the Societas Artistarum; and since 2024 of the International Albertus Magnus Society.
