I am an economic Historian at the Department of Social and Political Science, Bocconi University and research affiliate at the Dondena Center and BIDSA. My research focuses on the long run determinants of income and wealth distribution across different world regions.

I am currently working a project on the long run effect of population changes on work relations and income distribution in late medieval and early modern Europe and Middle East.

I am currently also collaborating with international leading archeologists on a project on the global history of wealth inequality, where we investigate the technological and institutional drivers of wealth distribution in ancient times.
