I graduated in “Ancient Topography” at the University of Pisa in 2013. In 2017, I obtained a PhD in “Storia e Orientalistica” (“History and Oriental Studies”), with a thesis devoted to the praefectura fabrum, an institutional post attested between the end of the 2nd century. B.C. and the third century. A.D. I spent research periods in Strasbourg, at the Maison Interuniversitaire des Sciences de l’Homme – Alsace (2015), and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, at the School of History, Classics, and Archeology - Newcastle University (2016).
From 2019 to 2022, I was an Adjunct Professor of Roman History at the University of Siena – Dipartimento di Scienze storiche e dei beni culturali (DSSBC). Between 2021 and 2023, I was a post-doc Research Fellow at the University of Pisa.
In 2023, I got a tenure-track Assistant Professorship at the University of Siena – Dipartimento di Filologia e Critica delle Letterature antiche e moderne (DFCLAM), where I teach Economic and Social History of the Roman World and Latin Epigraphy.
My areas of expertise are the economic and social history of the Roman world, in the Late Republic and the Early Empire. My research interests include the history of institutions, the practice of politics, economy, and epigraphic culture of the Roman world. My research so far has been mostly focused on the local elites in Italy and the provinces, their profiles, interests, and resources. Recently, I have been dealing with the History of Italian Classical Historiography in the 19th and 20th centuries.
I take active part in international projects, focused on the development of Epigraphy and Prosopography in a digital environment (EDR – Epigraphic Database Rome; Epigraphy.info. A Collaborative Environment for Digital Epigraphy; APR. Amici Populi Romani. Prosopographie der auswärtigen Freunde Roms). I am responsible for the epigraphic evidence for international archaeological research projects (Vada; Luni) and I am a member of the Material Culture Lab for the Misis Höyük Excavation Project (Turkey). I am a member of the Ancient Topography Lab at the University of Pisa; a member of the Società Storica Pisana; a member of the Centro di Studi Sallustiani de L’Aquila; a member of the scientific committee of the series “Studi di archeologia e storia del mondo antico e medievale” (Edizioni ETS – Pisa).
