From April 2018, I am a student of the Cognitive Science and Language PhD programme (Analytic Philosophy branch). Before joining LOGOS, I completed a BA in Philosophy at Milan State University, and a MA in Analytic Philosophy at the University of Barcelona.

I work under the supervision of Sven Rosenkranz and Esa Diaz-Leon. My research interests lie primarily in epistemology, and in its intersections with metaphysics and the philosophies of mind and language. At the moment, I am thinking about relatively unexplored foundational aspects of the recent knowledge-first approach. In particular, I argue that the relevant priority of knowledge should be conceived as conceptual rather than metaphysical. Hopefully, this strategy might enable knowledge-first epistemology to overcome some worrying objections, and can also be used to shed new light on further topics of independent interest (among others, knowledge-based accounts of justification and knowledge-first explanations of epistemic supervenience).

In addition, I also have (largely underdeveloped) interests in philosophical methodology (conceptual analysis and progress in philosophy), metaethics and the philosophy of cognitive sciences.
