I graduated in political science at the University of Bologna in 2013. At the University of Bologna my studies focused mostly on Italian electoral politics at the regional level. Over time, my main interests have shifted towards international relations. I received a MA in International Relations from the University of Bologna in 2016 and a MA in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics in 2017. I am particularly interested in the political economy of money and trade.
My research centers on American politics, with emphases in political psychology, racial and ethnic politics, and political behavior. I am especially interested in how emotion influences our thinking and behavior regarding politics. I am similarly interested in the role that group-based social identities play in determining political preferences and consequent behavior.
