I'm a sociologist working at the intersection of cultural-historical sociology and modern religious history.

In my main research project, I combine archival fieldwork, sociological theory, and a microhistorical gaze to study the infrastructures of confession in late eighteenth-century Italy and the paperwork they produced, addressing a broader sociological question: how do organizations delegate power to members who operate within opacity?

In ongoing collaborative projects, I also examine the relationship between public arts funding and creative autonomy, how intellectuals’ ideas become tokens and totems in scholarly debates, and what Italian microhistory can contribute to historical and cultural sociology.

I hold a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Padova and am Associate Managing Editor at Sociologica. My work has been published in the British Journal of Sociology and Church History, has been supported by the U.S.–Italy Fulbright Commission, and received the BJS Early Career Prize.

When I’m not in the archive, I’m chasing the perfect instant noodle or listening to punk rock (too loud).
