From October 2009 to January 2022 I worked as Economist in the Directorate General for Economics, Statistics and Research of the Bank of Italy. I am still employed in Banca d'Italia but I am currently working as Economist and Data analyst in the Directorate General For Consumer Protection And Financial Education (Financial Education Directorate). I graduated in Political Economy at the Università degli Studi G. d’Annunzio in 2002. Afterwards I studied at the Università Politecnica delle Marche, where I obtained a PhD in Economics in 2007. I also studied at the Université Catholique de Louvain, where I received a Master of Arts in Economics and a PhD in Economics, respectively in 2005 and 2012. I published in some international and national peer-reviewed journals. My research interest were related to Industrial organization theory (R&D cooperation), but during the years I also worked on macroeconomic topics like Financial accounts. My research agenda is now focused on financial education and financial literacy.
