Presentation

I am Associate Professor of Business Law at the Department of Business and Law Studies of the University of Siena, where I teach Transnational Corporate Governance Law (M.Sc. in International Accounting and Management), Business Crisis and Insolvency Law (M.Sc. in Management and Governance), and Law and Governance of the Environmentally Sustainable Enterprise (module within the course Environmental Law and Climate Justice, M.Sc. in Economics for the Environment and Sustainability). I obtained my law degree from the University of Perugia and earned a PhD in Banking and Financial Market Law from the University of Siena, where I subsequently began my academic career as a research fellow in Commercial Law.

I have been a Visiting PhD Student at the Institut für Genossenschaftswesen of Philipps-Universität Marburg and a Visiting Scholar at the UCLA School of Law, University of California, Los Angeles. My main research interests include corporate and banking law, the law and regulation of financial contracts and collective investment schemes, and insolvency and restructuring law.

I am a member of the Editorial Board of the journals Ianus (the online journal of the Department of Business and Law Studies, University of Siena) and Diritto della Banca e del Mercato Finanziario. I currently serve as the Director’s Delegate for Departmental Seminars at DISAG. Since January 2022, I have been a member of the University Quality Assurance Board of the University of Siena. I am also a member of the Academic Board of the PhD Programme in Law and Management of Sustainability (DiMaS) at DISAG.

In 2025, within the framework of the University of Siena Research Development Plan, I was awarded a competitive research grant under the New Frontiers programme, aimed at early-career researchers and reserved for highly innovative projects, for the research project entitled “Insolvency Law in the Age of the Intangible Economy and New Technologies (INSOLTECH)”.
