My research examines the making of global economic governance in the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the role of international organizations in reshaping societies through knowledge production, policy design, and development programs. 

I hold a double Ph.D. in Political and Social Science with specialization in Economic History (University of Bologna) and in History & Civilizations (Université Paris Cité). I have held fellowships at the Harvard University, Paris School of Economics, and the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. I am currently a research fellow at the Einaudi Foundation in Turin and at the ERC-funded project ECOINT (20th Century International Economic Thinking and the Complex History of Globalization) run by Prof. Glenda Sluga at the European University Institute.

My doctoral dissertation titled Development Brokers: The World Bank, Economic Expertise and the Reinvention of Global Economic Governance in the 1960s offers a revisionist analysis of the political economy of the World Bank in the 1960s, during the so-called United Nations Development Decade (see more in Research).

I have accessed archives in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, participated in work and research stays in Italy, France, Estonia, Japan, and the United States, and presented my work at conferences and workshops in Europe, North America, and Latin America (see Presentations).
