I am a PhD student in Economics at Sapienza University of Rome, working under the supervision of Prof. Michele Raitano. I am an applied economist — or at least I aspire to be one — studying how labour market inequalities persist across generations, with a focus on intergenerational mobility.
From April 2026, I will be a visiting researcher at the Research Group "Inequality and Public Policy" at ZEW Mannheim.
Current research projects.

Peer-reviewed papers.
Papers are brewing. In the meantime, I'm fueled by espresso and econometrics. Check back soon — or just keep refreshing, I won't judge.
