Biography
I am a first-year PhD candidate in the School of Politics at the University of Nottingham, funded by the ESRC-MGS, with an interdisciplinary background in Philosophy and Politics. My research sits at the intersection of political theory, political sociology, and digital politics, and focuses on what I conceptualise as neomasculinism: a contemporary phenomenon involving the production and circulation of online content targeted at young men, and its role in shaping political identities, norms, and processes of political socialisation.
Before starting my PhD, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a Master's degree in Philosophy from the University of Padua, as well as a Master's degree in Politics from the University of Macerata. In Macerata I was also a student of the Scuola di Studi Superiori Giacomo Leopardi
During my studies, I had the opportunity to spend time abroad through the Erasmus programme. I studied at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris and at Radboud University in Nijmegen.

Current Research
My doctoral project examines neomasculinism as a distinct ideological and cultural formation emerging within digital environments, with particular attention to its connections to the radical right, online subcultures, and broader dynamics of political violence in stable democratic societies. Methodologically, the project combines conceptual analysis with empirical research on online content and political mobilisation, aiming to contribute to ongoing debates on masculinity, ideology, and political radicalisation.
