I am Post-doctoral Fellow in Political Science and Adjunct Professor of Italian Political System at LUISS Guido Carli in Rome. I am a member of CISE (Italian Center for Electoral Studies) and of ITANES (Italian National Election Studies).
My research interests focus on elections, party system change and the processes of party system nationalization and institutionalization in comparative perspective.
I have published articles on Comparative Political Studies Party Politics, Regional and Federal Studies, Journal of Contemporary European Research, Italian Political Science Review, Contemporary Italian Politics. I have co-edited five e-books on Italian local and national elections and the European Parliament elections published by CISE, and I am the author of several book chapters focusing on party systems, voting behaviour, Italian and European politics.
I am actually working on a book dealing with the process of vote (de-)nationalization in Western Europe to be published by ECPR Press.
I have also occasionally collaborated with national and local newspapers and magazines in Italy such as Il Sole 24 Ore, La Repubblica-Palermo, Il Sud, and the online blog of Fondazione Etica.
