After a bachelor's degree in foreign languages and cultures (English, Spanish and French), I turned to the field of International Relations, focusing on the study of specific issues such as strategic and security studies, analysis techniques, terrorism studies, intelligence studies, MENA international relations and crisis management cycle. I therefore completed a Master's degree in International Relations at the university of Bologna and attended to some other courses such as the HEAT (Hostile Environment Awareness Training), centered on civilian training for hostile areas and conflict zones, and an advanced Master’s Degree in economic security, geopolitics and intelligence studies. I have a strong interest for all main issues related to the arab world and I'm currently studying arab language and muslim culture to gain a deeper awareness about strengths and problems sorrounding arab societies. My interest in research stems from an inexhaustible passion for study: being able to cultivate this vocation as a researcher and analyst is one of my greatest aspirations.
