I am anthropologist and cultural heritage curator, graduated in Conservation of Cultural Heritage (2004) and in Anthropological Sciences (2006) at the University of Perugia, where for several years I taught Cultural Anthropology at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. I also have a PhD in Ethnology and Anthropology (2010), a post-doc in Medical Anthropology (2011-2014) and another post-doc in Urban Anthropology (2016). For many years now I have been involved in research and enhancement of cemeteries as places of collective memory and daily life, in Italy, Brazil and France, publishing two books and many papers. In recent years I participated in international research, carried out in Italy and Brazil, on public health, community empowerment and the experiences of deinstitutionalization in mental health.
I also taught Urban Anthropology and Anthropology of the Imaginary at the UNESP of Araraquara and Cultural Anthropology and History of Religions at the Centro Universitário Barão de Mauá of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.
