My research interests include democratic theory and the history of political thought, especially Antonio Gramsci and Italian political theory. My work draws on diverse historical and contemporary views of the party and political leadership to address pressing challenges facing democracies and to generate new insights for institutional reform.

My first book project introduces Gramsci to the contemporary debate on the crisis of parties and democratic representation, and it provides the first systematic reconstruction of his early twentieth-century thought on party democracy. I have also worked extensively in the subfield of memory politics through archival research on the anti-fascist resistance. My co-authored article appears in the journal Review of International Studies and develops an ethical partisan approach to memory politics through an analysis of the last letters written by anti-fascist partisans before their execution in Italy and France. My second book project recovers a novel conception of partisanship, leadership, and representation from the writings of women across the European Resistance.

Born and raised in Toronto, I hold dual Canadian and Italian citizenship. I obtained my M.A. in Legal and Political Theory from University College London in 2018 and my B.A. in Political Science from the University of Toronto in 2017, where I concentrated on classical and modern political thought.
