Italy
Historian working on nineteenth-century Eurasian and Caucasus history, with a focus on cultural, political, and intellectual interactions across imperial and regional contexts. My research combines archival work, historiographical analysis, and multilingual sources to explore historical forms of international relations, knowledge circulation, and cross-cultural mediation. Alongside research, I have experience in teaching languages at advanced levels and in academic editing and translation within international scholarly environments.
