Graduated in Political Science from the Università degli Studi di Milano and holding a PhD in the History of European Society, she is Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the Università degli Studi dell'Insubria. From 2018 to 2024, she served as Chair of the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in History and Histories of the Contemporary World, established in the 2018–19 academic year. Her scholarly research has focused on the political and social history of the Duchy of Milan during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with particular attention to the different forms of affirmation and legitimation adopted by newly emerging social groups, as well as on political history and political culture during the revolutionary era. In recent years, her work has increasingly concentrated on the history of racial issues and civil rights between the early modern and contemporary periods, together with the dissemination of historiography through audiovisual media and the practices of public history.
