Welcome to my webpage!
I am a PhD student in Economic History at Queen’s University Belfast, where I am a member of the Centre for Economics, Policy and History, an all-Ireland centre of excellence funded by the Higher Education Authority, linking Trinity College Dublin and Queen’s University Belfast.
My research focuses on the study of apprenticeship and labour markets in late medieval and early modern Italy. This research aims at contributing to a better understanding of the dynamics behind skills acquisition in early modern Europe and the consequences on long-term economic growth. For my doctoral research I am supervised by Prof. John Turner and Dr. Arcangelo Dimico.
Before moving to Belfast, I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s studies at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. While a visiting student at the Dondena Centre for Research on Social Dynamics and Public Policy, I was part of the European Research Grant SMITE Project team, led by professor Guido Alfani.
