I graduated in Economics from Luiss, then achieved a Ph.D. in Money and Finance at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. I work as economist at the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance and teach Financial Markets and Institutions in Luiss since 2021. My research (and teaching) interest concerns the monetary system, and in particular the money creation process involving the distinction between inside (debt) and outside (equity) money. On more important grounds, I tend to feel quite comfortable with the philosophy (a rethorically persuasive idea of life, able to withstand the most recent developments of human knowledge) of Vito Mancuso and the voice of Primo Brown.
