A short bio
A short bio
I was born in 1993 in Bergamo (BG), a city in Lombardy in central Northern Italy.
I'm married to Laura since September 2021 and we live in the countryside with our three cats Ragù, Fusillo and Luna and our dog Axel.
In 2023, we received a huge gift: Margherita!
I'm a huge fan of stand-up comediands (especially when they are endowed with a keen sense of criticism and sarcasm), The Lord of the Ring and Star Wars saga, The Office and Boris. My mentors definitely include Master Yoda, Gandalf and Renè Ferretti!

Doing Research with a critical and constructive spirit
Doing Research with a critical and constructive spirit
Since January 2022, I am Junior Assistant Professor (RTDA) of Economic Statistics at the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics of the University of Milano Bicocca, Italy. Moreover, since February 2022 I'm Associate Researcher at Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) in Milan, Italy.
I like to define myself as an economic spatio-temporal geostatistician.
My research activities and interests focus on statistics and econometrics applied to the environmental, energetic and socio-economic field.
I am a convinced Europeist (having a scientific-based critical thinking...) and I continuously try to put Europe and its critical issues at the center of my research and divulgative activities in Italy and abroad.
Whenever I can, I collaborate with organizations and groups to disseminate knowledge, animate public and political debate, and receive feedback from anyone who wants to build an informed and constructive thought.
