I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political and Social Sciences (DSPS), University of Florence. I teach an undergraduate-level course in Comparative Politics as well as a Master’s-level course in European politics.
My research focuses on comparative political institutions, with particular attention to parliamentary agenda-setting, coalition governance, crisis politics, and the interplay between national and European decision-making.
I am a co-founder and co-PI of both the Italian Policy Agendas Project and the Portuguese Policy Agendas Project. I also coordinate the Jean Monnet Module REPLAN-EU (Implementing Resilience and Recovery Plans in Italy and Beyond) and lead the Florence-based research unit of the REPLAN-EU PRIN project.
In addition, I serve on the Board of Directors and act as Scientific Coordinator of the Service Center for Country and Institutional Data at the DSPS. The center is part of the European research infrastructure project MEDEM - Monitoring Electoral Democracy.
