Born in 1998 in Florence, Italy, I am a PhD candidate in Musical Sciences – Ethnomusicology – at NOVA FCSH and an integrated researcher at INET-md. My research focuses on urban ethnomusicology and nightlife studies, exploring the relationship between live music venues, gentrification, touristification, and cultural resistance. I adopt an interdisciplinary methodological approach. I have a diverse academic background, having completed a bachelor's degree in Philosophy at the Università degli Studi di Firenze and a master's degree in Musical Sciences at the Università di Pavia – Department of Musicology and Cultural Heritage in Cremona. During my studies, I participated in exchange programs at the Universitetet i Oslo and NOVA FCSH, as well as an internship at the Library and Archive of the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, where I gained experience in music archival work. I collaborated with the Live Music Mapping Project, contributing to the collection and analysis of data on the music ecosystems of Florence and Milan. I presented the results of this work at the Mapping Music Life conference (Florence, 2024). I am fluent in Italian (my native language), Portuguese, and English, and have basic knowledge of Spanish. Beyond research, I have a strong passion for music, having studied opera singing at the Florence Conservatory. I am deeply interested in the socio-cultural practices related to dance and regularly practice forró and salsa.
