I'm also super excited to share my first article, which builds on some of the work I did for my PhD. I discuss how revolutionaries operating through the port of Genoa used the sea and worldwide business connections to staff and supply the army that unified Italy in 1860.

Here I am on Bluesky sharing what I wrote about Bluesky. It's easy to be a wonderful social network before the numbers get big, the VCs get hungry and the crowds get mean. I asked CEO Graber: Can Bluesky stay this way and become what all of us want? www.wired.com/story/plaint...

Hello #skystorians! 👋🏻 My PhD thesis delved into police, revolutionaries, and crime in 19th-century Italy. I’ve published a book on this topic (Polizia, crimine e ordine pubblico in epoca liberale, Rubbettino). Now, my research focuses on strikebreakers, and gun control in Third Republic France.

#HelloESR je suis historien, chercheur postdoctoral à l'université Grenoble-Alpes. Je travaille surtout sur l'histoire des polices et le contrôle du territoire. Ma recherche actuelle porte sur les polices privées, les briseurs de grève et le contrôle des armes à feu pendant la Troisième République.
