My research focuses on Jewish history and on the intersection between religion and politics. In particular, I am interested in the construction of narratives, that is, in the use of narrative devices through which history, collective memory, and Jewish identity have been shaped, from antiquity to the present day. After specialising in Jewish history, language, and literature at Sapienza University of Rome, I obtained my PhD from the Faculty of Philosophy at RWTH Aachen University with a dissertation on the narrative construction of biblical literature.I completed an initial postdoctoral fellowship between Trento and Venice, where I examined the intersection of Judaism and Christianity within the political history of the Prince-Bishopric of Trento and the Republic of Venice in the sixteenth century. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Lancaster University, working on a project concerning the politicisation of religious texts in Israel.
