I am a legal historian with a particular interest in the Middle Ages. I studied Law at Roma Tre University, where I obtained my Master’s degree in 2018. The same year I undertook a joint PhD in medieval history and in legal disciplines, under a co-tutelle at the University of St Andrews and Roma Tre University, within the ERC research project “Civil Law, Common Law, Customary Law: Consonance, Divergence and Transformation in Western Europe from the Late Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries” (CLCLCL). After defending my thesis, in March 2022 I joined the MICOLL team at the University of Padua as a research fellow. In October 2025, I became Postdoctoral Researcher in Law and Religion at the University of Padua, thus leaving MICOLL’s research team and re-joining the project as a senior member.

My main research interests are legal argumentation and learning in the ius commune tradition, as well as the historical relationship between law and other fields of human knowledge, like theology and literature. I have recently published a book on The Perpendiculum: Presumptions and Legal Arguments in the 12th Century (Brill, 2024).
