Information

Sociologist and holds a PhD in Methodology of the Social Sciences. His research focuses on social inequalities and on social protection and public intervention systems targeting vulnerable groups, with particular attention to the role of public policies and local services in managing social risks and preventing different forms of social exclusion.

Adopting a mixed-methods approach, he combines quantitative analyses based on official statistics and administrative data with qualitative research on policy implementation processes and the functioning of service networks. His work lies at the intersection of gender studies, social policy analysis, and the study of welfare governance, with a focus on the social mechanisms underlying the production and reproduction of inequalities.

A significant part of his research is devoted to policies and interventions aimed at preventing and addressing gender-based violence, with particular attention to specialised services and to the coordination mechanisms among institutional actors within local protection systems.

In parallel, he has conducted studies on the organisation and functioning of social services and welfare policies targeting different population groups, carrying out monitoring, analysis and evaluation of intervention systems at the territorial level.

His research has also addressed various contexts of vulnerability related to international migration, with a focus on unaccompanied minors, refugees, and migrant women who have experienced female genital mutilation.

He is co-editor of the scientific journal Welfare e Ergonomia (FrancoAngeli).
