structures – institutions, practices, ideas, languages – and their influence on individuals and groups. Starting from the institutional and social frameworks of late medieval Italian principalities, my interests have broadened to include early Renaissance diplomacy, public written records, archival memory, and political languages.

Razionalità, emozione e narratività nei carteggi politici del primo Rinascimento) and a comparative analysis of diplomatic and conflictual interaction in the Renaissance and the contemporary world (Comunicazione e conflitto. Modelli di interazione fra pre- e post-moderno).
