I am Professor of Economics at the University of Milano Bicocca, and the Director of the Center for European Studies (CefES). 

My research focuses on International Finance, Development Economics, and Political Economy. Across these fields, I examine how international financial flows and shocks affect people and places. In particular, I study how sovereign risk and debt restructurings are transmitted to banks, firms, and households; how international financial institutions lend and set conditions; and how foreign aid is allocated and affects local economies.
