Research fellow in History of Science in the framework of the PRIN 2022 project Musealising the Italian Scientist (1839-1939): Practices, Narratives, Memories, at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Bologna.
I obtained a PhD in History of Science at the European University Institute (Fiesole) with a thesis titled The Natural History of the Risorgimento: Science, Environment and Nation-Building in Nineteenth-Century Italy, supervised by Prof. Stéphane Van Damme.
My monograph based on my doctoral thesis, The Natural History of the Risorgimento: Science, Environment and Nation-Building in Nineteenth-Century Italy (Mimesis International - Series: Cultural History of Science – Studies and Sourcebooks), was published in July 2025.
My research interests focus on environmental history and the history of science in Italy during the 19th and 20th centuries, the history of museums and natural and scientific heritage, and the relationship between science and nation-building processes.
