I am Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, where I teach Late Modern and Contemporary History.

I was educated at the University Roma Tre and I received the PhD at the University of Cassino.

I was visiting professor at the Freie Universität Berlin (in 2023), research fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (in 2011 and 2022), lecturer fixed-term at the Sapienza University of Rome (2020-2023), and research fellow at the University of Cassino (2008-2010) and at the University Roma Tre (2017-2018).

In the last years I taught Democracies ant Totalitarianisms in Contemporary Age, History of Europe, History of Movements and Political Parties, History of Contemporary Italy, and History of Journalism at Freie, Sapienza, Roma Tre, and Cassino universities.

I am member of the Editorial Board of the quarterly journals “Mondo Contemporaneo. Rivista di storia” and “Giornale di storia”.

I am a member of the following academic associations:

My main fields of research concern nationalism, Fascism, the history of historiography, with particular attention to the work of George L. Mosse and Renzo De Felice, and the relationship between culture and politics in the years between the two world wars (above all between nationalism, Catholicism and Fascism).

I achieved the national scientific qualification as associate professor in the Italian higher education system, in the call 2021/2023 for the disciplinary field of 11/A3 Late Modern and Contemporary history (ERC SH6_9).

I'm now completing a book on the myth of Ancient and Christian Rome in Fascist Italy.
