Keywords: Italian and European migration European economic migration Italy's economic development Business history Use of remittances History of the aviation industry

In general, my research extends to Italian and European economic history issues, with particular attention to the evolution of European economic integration. Business and local history research themes also interest me, even though I have recently devoted most of my attention to trace the economic history of  Italian and European migration. My present research interests are devoted to a EU financed project on the economic history of migration  which I won in August 2020. I'm thus currently working on the history of Italian emigration to North and South America, on the effects of decolonization on Italian residents in Tunisia and on the use of remittances to help local economic growth. I'm also concluding my research on the history of the Italian aeronautical industry, with particular attention to the Caproni Group.
