I was educated at the University of Pisa, where I studiedÌýClassical 91̽»¨ÊÓƵÌý(specialising in ancient topography and landscape archaeology) and then pursued a PhD inÌýAncient HistoryÌý(with a project on the demography of Roman Italy). My very close engagement with British academia effectively started as an ERASMUS undergraduate student at the University of Leicester, and further developed as a visiting postgraduate student at the 91̽»¨ÊÓƵ. I joined the Faculty of Classics in 2009, first as a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, then as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, and I was elected to a University Lectureship in 2013, becoming Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in 2018 and Professor in 2024.

I am based in the Faculty of Classics. Please visit myÌýon the Faculty of Classics for further information.
