Biography

Selected Recent Publications

I was Born in Rome, Italy and currently live in Paris and Rome. I defended my doctoral thesis at the University of Strasbourg on 17 December 2025: Ambroise de Milan – Hexameron III–IV. Introduction, texte critique et notes complémentaires des dies III–IV, supervised by M. Cutino (Université de Strasbourg, UR 4377) and G. Agosti (Università di Pisa). It is forthcoming in the Sources Chrétiennes series. 
My main research interests are Ambrose of Milan, hexameral literature, and Latin and Greek patristics with a focus on the fourth century, as well as Gregory of Nazianzus. Most of my work is currently undergoing publication, in both edited volumes and journals.
