Biography
Specialist in international relations and cultural heritage governance, with a background in economics, law, and cultural heritage management. I hold a B.A. in International Relations and a Master’s degree in Cultural Heritage Policy. I have developed expertise in academic research, cultural project design, and stakeholder analysis, with particular attention to heritage valorization processes, the fight against illicit trafficking of cultural property, and the interaction between cultural heritage, law, and public policy.
Currently a PhD candidate at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca in Analysis and Management of Cultural Heritage, I focus my research on the nexus between organized crime, particularly mafia networks, and cultural heritage-related crimes, while also contributing to university teaching activities. Alongside my academic work, I am actively involved in participatory cultural planning, heritage education, and stakeholder engagement. I am also an active member of the Italian Youth UNESCO Association and a certified sommelier.
