I am an Associate Professor of Political Economy at the University of Florence.
My research focuses on the role of time and space in economic dynamics, with a strong emphasis on evolutionary models featuring heterogeneous agents.

Over the years, I have worked across several fields — from international to industrial economics — while increasingly concentrating on how network structures shape macroeconomic outcomes. More recently, my work has explored how countries respond to climate change, combining theoretical models and empirical evidence with a focus on multi-country networks.

I am affiliated with the NETBHEE Lab and the Florence Center for Data Science, where I contribute to interdisciplinary research initiatives.

I am also active in public-facing initiatives, including podcasting and writing (in Italian), aimed at making economic complexity more accessible and relevant to broader audiences.
