I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Economics at the University of Bergamo. I received my PhD from the University of Turin and Collegio Carlo Alberto in 2023.
My research focuses on economic history, political economy, and long-term economic development. I use original historical data to study the long-term effects of shocks, culture, and conflicts.
