Specialized in Etruscology and Archaeology of pre-Roman Italy, connecting Protohistory and the Orientalising period from their Mediterranean context to the inner European world. My research interests are based upon an interdisciplinary approach among archaeology, ancient history and cultural anthropology, spanning through funerary archaeology and archaeometry, and focusing on pottery and bronze productions involved in cross-Mediterranean contacts to shed light on the social role of artisans and on gendered differences. Furthermore, I am interested in the management and enhancement of archaeological heritage, also through the application of new technologies, thanks to my previous work experience as an archaeological officer in the Italian Ministry of Culture. As European Association of Archaeologists Executive Board member I am also involved in the valorisation of professional archaeologists at European level.
