He earned a bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Art History and a master’s degree in Art Criticism (2017) from the University of Rome “La Sapienza.” He subsequently participated in the curatorial program at the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation and began a Ph.D. in the History of Photography at the IMT School for Advanced Studies in Lucca. In 2022, he was also a research scholar in London at the History and Theory of Photography Research Center at Birkbeck, University of London. His research focuses primarily on the history and theory of artistic photography in Italy, with a particular emphasis on critical debates and photographic exhibitions at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. A central thread of his studies concerns the intersections between images, memory, LGBTQIA+ subjectivities, and archival practices.
