PhD student
I am a PhD student in Legal History at the University of Milan. After graduating in law with a thesis about political justice in the Republic of Venice in the modern age, I began collaborating with the chairs of Legal History at the University of Milan and completed my professional training by passing the bar exam.
My current research focuses on the criminal relevance of merchant bankruptcy between the late Middle Ages and the early modern period.
I have already had the opportunity to speak at national and international academic conferences and to publish my first editorial contribution.
