Presentation

Dennj Solera is a researcher in Early Modern History at the University of Siena.

After Master's degree (Padua, 2014) and the PhD (Florence, 2018), he has furthered his education at several universities and research centres (Rome, Bologna, Geneva, York, Warsaw, etc.), where he expanded his research horizons.

Among the topics covered are the social history of the Roman Inquisition, the formation of political élites, the limits of freedom, and the history of students' communities.

Solera has won several awards, including the Colombaria Prize and the FUP Prize for the best doctoral thesis (2019).
