Biography
I received the Doctorate in Contemporary History from the University of Turin in 1987. I worked as a Visiting Fellow at Yale University (1981-82) and as a researcher at the European University Institute (1984-87) and the London School of Economics (1987 -90). I taught at the College of Europe (1990-91), at the University of Bologna (1992-1999), and at the University of New Mexico (2003). Since 2000 I have been teaching at the University of Florence where I was also Director of the Department of Historical and Geographic Studies (2003-06). In 2007 I was Visiting Fellow at Columbia University.
Research Interest
My first research was about the role of unions in the United States in the early twentieth century. I then studied American strategies for post-conflict reconstruction in Europe and relations between the United States and Republican Republic in the Cold War. After some work on international relations in Italy and, in particular, on migration policies and European integration, my research focused on the strategies and culture of US foreign policy in the twentieth century with a special focus on the impact of American culture in Western Europe. I just finished a Cold War story for Einaudi publisher.
