Welcome to my personal website.
I am Head of the Monetary Policy Unit at Banca d'Italia, within the Monetary Analysis Division of the Economic Outlook and Monetary Policy Directorate. I coordinate a team analysing euro area monetary policy, including its tools, stance, strategy, and communication.
My research is in empirical macroeconomics, with a focus on monetary economics, monetary policy, and fiscal policy.
