About Me

I am a medieval historian and archaeologist. My research area focuses on landscape and funerary archaeology. I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow at the University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam School of Historical Studies (ASH), in partnership with Stanford University, Anthropology Dep., with a project entitled ‘ISLand – Isolation and Segregation Landscape. Archaeology of quarantine in the Indian Ocean World’. My project would be an experimental investigation within the historical archaeology, applied to isolated contexts.

After completing my PhD at the University of Bologna (Italy), I participated in several projects in Europe and abroad, managing different stages of research, from fieldwork to exhibition and museum workshop design. I published a monograph and co-edited 6 publications on archaeological projects, as well as articles in international scientific journals.
