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 am also a Research Associate on the ERC project ECOINT, directed by Prof. Glenda Sluga at the EUI. 

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). Previously, I held research fellowships at Harvard University, the Paris School of Economics, and the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. 

My research examines the making of twentieth-century global economic governance, with particular focus on the role of international organizations in reshaping societies through knowledge production, policy design, and development programs. I am especially interested in economic decolonization, the North-South dialogue, structural adjustment programs, and the role of economists in multilateral governance.

My first book project, 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 Development Decade (see more under Research).

I have conducted archival research in the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Malawi, as well as in multilateral organizations such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the United Nations. I have also undertaken research and work stays in Italy, France, Estonia, Japan, and the United States, and presented my work at conferences and workshops across Europe, North America, and Latin America (see Presentations).

My research has been recognized with multiple competitive awards, grants, and fellowships, including the Best Article Award from AISPE in October 2025 (see Grants & Awards).
