I am a post doc researcher of the FIS Advanced Grant The Italian Peninsula and the Atlantic Slavery. A Forgotten History (BlackItaly). I am an anthropologist and social historian specializing in imperial history, slavery and abolition, colonialism and colonial societies, and mobility in the 19th-century Caribbean. I successfully completed her Ph.D. in Global History and Governance with highest honors in June 2024 at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and the University of Naples Federico II. Meanwhile, I obtained a fellowship at the University of Turin, where she studied the life and Latin American expeditions of the Italian geographer Agostino Codazzi. I am also the coordinator of the “Free and Unfree Labor” working group of the Italian Society for Labor History (SISLav). She is currently working on a monograph based on her thesis, titled Vulnerable Freedom(s). Caribbean Connections and Imperial Borders during Abolition, Routledge (forthcoming 2026).
