University of WarwickMy current research project investigates cultural exchanges between Italy and the Third World at the peak of the anticolonial era (late 1950s-early 1970s). It focuses on cinema alongside other cultural forms and media practices, such as photography, exhibitions, television. I am also completing my previous – and related – project (which was awarded a WIRL-COFUND Fellowship) on collaborative works between Italians and Algerians, including Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers (1966). Previously I co-edited a volume on terrorism and cinema (in Italian, Postmedia books) and one on Pier Pasolini Pasolini (Bloomsbury Academics). My work has appeared in, among others, Senses of Cinema, The Italianist: Film Issue, Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies, Historical Materialism, Comunicazioni Sociali, Quest. Issues in Contemporary Jewish History. I am the managing editor of the journals Zapruder World and Cinema e Storia, in the editorial board of L’Avventura and Storiografia, and in the editorial staff of the cultural blog il lavoro culturale and the media outlet DinamoPress. I wrote and coproduced the film Mister Wonderland (dir. Valerio Ciriaci, 2019). I collaborate with newspapers and magazines.
