Nicolò Matteucci holds a Master's degree with honor in International Relations, earned with a Master's dissertation on Critical geopolitics. He is currently a PhD student in Peace Studies (curriculum 6 «Space, territory, resources, and narratives for peaceful pathways») at the Department of History, Anthropology, Religions, Performing, Arts at Sapienza University of Rome. His research project, provisionally titled «The Italian Geographical Society from colonialism to cosmopolitanism», combines theoretical elements with an empirical analysis and aims to examine the evolution of the scientific and communicative contribution of the Italian Geographical Society through the study of its documentary, archival, cartographic and iconographic heritage. The study, conducted in collaboration with the Italian Geographical Society, explores the geographical discourse emerging from the Italian Geographical Society's activities from the perspective of peace and coexistence among peoples and cultures.
Recently, he presented a paper titled «Decolonial cosmopolitanism and the transition from universalism to pluriversalism» during the XIV Edition of the Study Day Beyond Globalization: «Transizioni/Transitions» organized by the Italian Society for Geographical Studies.
