Welcome to my home page!

I am an associate professor of philosophy at the Department of Philosophy , Sociology, Education and Applied Psychology at the University of Padua (Italy), where I teach philosophy of language and epistemology and where I am a member of the Noùs research group. I am also visiting professor at the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Italian Switzerland in Lugano. I work mainly in metaphysics and epistemology of modality, counterfactuals, and theory of reference.
