Bio
I am a researcher with tenure in Financial Markets and Institutions at Bocconi University Finance Department. I received the national scientific habilitation (ASN) award as full professor in Financial Markets, Financial Institutions and Corporate Finance (Sector 13/B4) in 2020. I am a member of the steering committee at Blest, the Bocconi Lab for European Studies, a research fellow of the Bocconi Baffi centre, and a fellow of IEP, the Bocconi Institute for European policymaking. I am also a member of the Expert Panel on banking supervision for the European Parliament since 2017.
I was an academic visitor at Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford and visiting professor at the Bangor Business School at Bangor University, UK.
I hold a PhD degree in Financial Markets and Institutions from Università degli Studi di Siena.

Research Interests
My main research interests are empirical banking and art investing. In banking, I am particularly interested in studying the effects of regulation and supervision on bank behavior and how banks cope with credit risk. My most recent research is on the effects of climate-related risks on bank credit allocation policies.
