About me
I am a researcher in ancient philosophy. My main focus is the Early Roman Empire (I-III cent.), a world animated by lively and open debates between different philosophical schools, cultural groups, religious associations. The core themes and issues I investigate are centered around divinatory theories and doctrines of salvation.
I studied Philosophy in Bologna (BA, with honours) and Padova (MA, with honours). In 2016, I was awarded my Joint Doctorate from Padova and KU Leuven under the co-supervisions of Prof. Maria Grazia Crepaldi (Padova) and Prof. Jan Opsomer (KU Leuven).
After my PhD, I was granted a Newton International Fellowship (competitive grant supporting oversees researchers in the UK, sponsored by The British Academy and The Royal Society; success rate: 8%). This allowed me to work at the Department of Classics and Ancient History of Durham University (UK), as a member of the Durham Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy (DCAMP). My mentors were Prof. Johannes Haubold and Prof. George Boys-Stones. Then, I received an FWO Post-Doctoral Fellowship (prestigious grant sponsored by The Research Foundation – Flanders), at the KU Leuven Institute of Philosophy (Belgium), where I worked under the mentorship of Prof. Jan Opsomer. In 2022-2023, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the ERC project Not another history of Platonism (grant agreement No. 885273; Principal Investigator: Prof. Jan Opsomer).
I am currently an MSCA Marie-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris. I am PI of a European funded project entitled MappingSalvation.
