I am a Research Fellow at the Einaudi Foundation and a Visiting Fellow in the Department of History at the European University Institute (EUI). I also serve as a Research Associate on the ERC project ECOINT, directed by Prof. Glenda Sluga at the EUI.
Previously, I held research fellowships at Harvard University, the Paris School of Economics, and the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. I hold a double Ph.D. in Political and Social Science with a specialization in Economic History (University of Bologna) and in History & Civilizations (Université Paris Cité).
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.
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 under Research).
I have conducted archival research in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, and undertaken research and work stays in Italy, France, Estonia, Japan, and the United States. I have presented my work at conferences and workshops across Europe, North America, and Latin America (see Presentations).
