Welcome to my page!
I'm a senior economist at the Trento Branch of the Bank of Italy where I contribute to the analysis of the region's real economy. My research focuses on firms' productivity, foreign trade, market power and access to finance, with a particular interest in regional disparities.
Since 2023, I have also been a member of the Technical Working Group on Productivity in Trentino, coordinated by the OECD Trento Centre for Local Development, contributing to discussions on local productivity and economic development.
I'm an alumnus of UCL, the Bocconi Community, the Marie Curie Alumni Association and the Marco Fanno Association.
In a previous life... I worked on development economics, travelled extensively, and enjoyed painting. I have a soft spot for self-winding watches and gemstones. I like to pretend I'm a wine connoisseur.
I am married to Giulia. Giacomo, Ettore, and Giovanna (born in 2015, 2017 and 2020) keep us happily busy.
