My main areas of expertise are the economic history of innovation and of industrial policies, such as those related to early infrastructure development and post-World War II recovery aid. I am particularly interested in the Italian economic history, with an emphasis on gender issues, on the evolution of inventive activity, and on human capital. My research relies on both quantitative and qualitative approaches, and it has been published in journals such as the Economic History Review, Review of Income and Wealth, Business History, and Cliometrica, among others.
