I am Assistant Professor (RTT) of Political Science at the Department of Political Science of Luiss Guido Carli, in Rome.

My research asks how European citizens respond to open borders and to a climate crisis no country can face alone — and what those responses mean for parties, elections, and social policy. I work with comparative survey data, survey experiments, and quantitative text analysis.

Research at a glance

European solidarity — Who is willing to share risks across member states, and how that willingness reshapes political competition in the EU.

Free movement — How transnational experience changes political attitudes and behaviour, and how concern about emigration enters the ballot box.

Climate politics — Public support for the energy transition and eco-social policies, and how climate became a politicised issue in Italy.
