Research interests
I got a laurea summa cum laude in History and Documentary Sciences (2010) at the University of Perugia and a Doctorate in Bibliographical Sciences at the University of Udine (2015), with a dissertation on the history of Jesuit libraries between Sixteenth and Eighteenth centuries. My interests include the connections between Italian literature and printing production, the history of Italian and European libraries, the history of reading.
