Enjoy yourself while taking a peek at my teaching and research interests.
Here are some curiosities about myself and the places I have been.
Oh, by the way here's what I look like:
In case you were wondering what
I am wearing, that is a commemorative track jacket that I
bought to celebrate Italy's victory in the 2006 Coppa del
Mondo of Soccer (or proper Football, if you want).
As you can imagine then, this political scientist you're
reading about is from Italy, precisely from Florence, which some call
the most beautiful city in world. I don't know if it's
the most beautiful city in the world but sure I am proud
to be from the land of Niccolò Machiavelli.
Following the footsteps of my illustrious co-citizen, I
migrated to greener pastures for some time.
Here in the beautiful People's Republic of Boulder, I
am completing my education as a political scientist
(i.e. a scholar who's not as smart as Machiavelli and
therefore needs statistical procedures to come to his
same conclusions).
If from looking at this picture you think that Boulder looks like a great place, you're right: it is a wonderful place. Plus, the University of Colorado at Boulder (whose stadium you can notice in the picture) is not bad either. Oh, I was almost forgetting: the Department of Political Science is full of interesting people; go take a look.
