Phd in PHD SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGY

Research:

PhD Candidate in Archaeology (Etruscology)

My research focuses on the study of production and use of coarse and fine ware from both the settlement and the sacred areas of Pyrgi (Santa Severa, RM), the ancient harbor of Cerveteri.
During my PhD, I also had the opportunity to train abroad at the Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (Germany), specializing in ceramic petrography.

My main areas of expertise are archaeology of production and the study of Etruscan material culture, particularly in the territories of Caere and Veii. I earned my Master’s degree in Etruscology and Italic Antiquities (January 19, 2022) from Sapienza University of Rome, graduating with highest honors (110/110 cum laude) with a thesis titled “Tools and Kilns for Ceramic Production in Etruria: the Workshop of Veii – Piano di Comunità.”

I have taken part in multiple excavation campaigns in Southern Etruria, including at sites such as Pyrgi, Vulci, and Rofalco, assuming various roles and responsibilities. My research interests also extend to the experimentation with new technological approaches for studying material culture and enhancing cultural heritage.
