Short biography

I am currently a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the History of Science at the Department of Cultures and Civilization and Fellow at the Teaching and Learning Center (University of Verona – Italy).
I got a double Ph.D. in History at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (Italy) and in Society and Culture (Societat i Cultura) at the University of Barcelona (Spain). I am currently working on a book from my Ph.D. dissertation concerning the relations between physical anthropology, prehistoric archaeology, and racism in Liberal Italy (1861-1915).

I have also served as curator and project manager assistant at the M9 Museum (Italian Museum of 20th Century History – Venice).

My AOS also includes History of Science, History of Archaeology, Science Communication, Critical Heritage Studies, Heritage and Politics, and Educational Methods.
