Researcher of Economic History at Sant'Anna, Pisa - Inequality, Social Mobility, Fascism, Italy, and similarly funny stuff
Welcome! I am Giacomo Gabbuti, an Assistant Professor (Ricercatore Tenure Track in Economic History) at the Institute of Economics of the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa - you can find my full CV here.
This website is mainly about my research, currently mostly focused on the history of economic inequality and intergenerational mobility in modern Italy, and the economic history of the Italian Fascist regime.
I plan to make soon available some resources on these topics I have digitised or found in the deepest corners of the web, and to upload some material from my teaching; meanwhile, you can find here some (hopefully!) interesting links.
Enjoy it, and feel free to get in contact!
