About Me

I'm a policy officer at the European Commission, diving into tourism policy at DG MOVE. For the past few years, I've been all about pushing digital innovation in tourism—especially when it comes to getting better at sharing data. These days, I've zoomed out a bit to take on the broader EU Strategy for Tourism. With a background in linguistics and social sciences, I've been in the EU game for over 15 years. I've covered everything from skills and youth jobs to fintech, crypto, and international relations. Along the way, I've worked in the Cabinets of two Italian Prime Ministers on EU affairs, and before joining the Commission, I split my time between Milan and Boston doing PhD research in politics, and did a stint working in publishing. I speak Italian, English, French and Spanish.
