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

My book project offers the first systematic reconstruction of Gramsci's early twentieth-century theory of party democracy. I have also worked extensively in the field 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 original translation and analysis of the last letters written by Italian and French anti-fascist partisans executed during WWII. My second major research project draws on the writings of partisan women across 20th century Europe to recovers a novel vision of representative democracy beyond traditional accounts.

Born 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 ancient and modern political thought.
