My research examines the history of working people in the Renaissance, material culture, and cross-cultural encounters. My current project, as part of my Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship, examines immigration and cultural networks in northern Italy and the transalpine area by looking at German immigrants in key cities in the Veneto. Before this, my PhD thesis explored artisans and material culture in the city of Verona in the sixteenth century, focusing on domestic consumption, cultural production, and the exchange of goods throughout northern Italy and the rest of Europe.
I am currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in History and a Junior Research Fellow at St Edmund Hall. Since completing my PhD, I have been a Rome Awardee at the British School at Rome and have worked as an Assistant Professor in Early Modern European History at the University of Cambridge.
