Ongoing Projects
Project 1. SCRIBAE. Archives and Written Culture in Antiquity and the Contemporary World
Studies the materiality of information and the processes of documentary production and preservation from the Roman world to modern archives.
The aim is to understand how knowledge is organised and transmitted through supports, spaces and writing practices, adopting an interdisciplinary perspective between archaeology, history and archival science.
Project 2. The Lost Children. Study of Stolen, Silenced and Invisible Identities through Archives (1849-1999)
Focuses on women and children as documentary subjects within institutions of charity, health, religion and justice.
The goal is to reconstruct identity trajectories and highlight documentation of institutionalised or stolen mothers and children, promoting archival research as a tool for identity traceability and social justice.
