Welcome to my personal website – a historian’s website. I was born in Piedmont and grew up in Tuscany. I received a B.A. (Honors) in Renaissance History at the University of Pisa in 1995. In 1997 I carried out postgraduate study at the University of Florence, taking courses in both Gender Studies and Theory and Method of Historical Research. From 1998 to 2002 I completed a Ph.D. in History at the University of Warwick (UK). During the academic year 2003-2004, I was a Fellow at Villa I Tatti (The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies). From 2005 to 2008 I was a Research Fellow at the Medici Archive Project in Florence. I have also collaborated with CLIOHnet, and acted as research assistant on behalf of various research groups of the University of Pisa and Ohio State University.
