Giacomo Gabbuti

Post-Doc Researcher of Economic History at Sant'Anna, Pisa - Inequality, Social Mobility, Fascism, Italy, and similarly funny stuff

Welcome!

I am Giacomo Gabbuti, and this is my personal website.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow (Assegnista di ricerca) at the Institute of Economics of the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa, where I joined the project Lost Highway - Skills, technology and trade in Italian economic growth, 1815-2020. I recently defended my DPhil (PhD) dissertation in Economic History at the University of Oxford - you can find my full CV here.

This website is mainly about my research, that currently deals with the history of economic inequality and intergenerational mobility in modern Italy, with a special interest on the interwar (a.k.a. Fascist) period (1922-1943). 

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!
