Research
Currently: Research on “Euroisation and Democratisation at the Eastern Borderline of the
European Union”. The main research topic is the effectiveness of EU’s economic
attractiveness as a tool for democratisation in the former Soviet republics now
neighbours of the European Union. The research is developed in the context of a
project funded in 2006 by the Jean Monnet Action for building a Trans-National
Network on the same topic.
2001-2006 Research at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (Fiesole, Itay) and
the Italian Institute for Human Sciences (Florence, Italy). The main research topic
is the history and politics of European monetary integration. A book was
developed to evaluate the impact of Euro common currency on the process of
European political integration. It investigates the extent to which the adoption
of a single currency creates the conditions leading to, or blocking, the political
integration of the European Union (EU). The final goal of the research is
proposing a new theory of EU’s political integration.
2000-2001: Research at the History Department of the Pisa University on the Budget Policy
of the Local Administration since 1950. The research aims to evaluate the
results of the budget policy of the Province of Pisa on the local economic and
social structure. The topic has to be considered in the context of the whole history
of local finance in Italy after World War II. The results of this research are two
essays to be published in different books.
1999-2000: Research on the Italian economy during the fascist period, in particular on the
Italian currency policy.
1994-98:
Ph.D. studies on Italian banking network abroad during the first half of the XX
century.
3
1993-94:
Research on the internal accounts of the Banca Commerciale Italiana since 1934
to 1974. That work aimed to build up the historical series of balance sheet data of
the bank that was one of the most important banks in Italy until the ‘70s.
