I am a historical and cultural sociologist, and a social theorist.

Drawing on archival methods and microhistorical approaches, my primary line of research reconstructs the infrastructures that regulated the conduct of confessors in late 18th-century Verona—which I frame as a site to theorize how sociotechnical networks enable the delegation and coordination of interpretive power at a distance.

In ongoing collaborative projects, I use qualitative and archival methods to investigate the relationship between funding and creativity in contemporary Italian art, as well as how intellectuals use paratexts to influence the reception of their ideas.

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Padova and a research fellow at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. My work has been supported by the U.S.-Italy Fulbright Commission and was awarded the British Journal of Sociology Early Career Prize.

When I’m not planning a visit to an archive, you’ll probably find me listening to punk rock or searching for the best instant noodles in town.
