The Enrico Fermi Research Center - CREF promotes original and high-impact lines of research, based on physical methods, but with a strong interdisciplinary character and in relation to the main problems of the modern knowledge society.
The CREF was born with a dual soul: a research centre and a historical museum. Its aim is to preserve and disseminate the memory of Enrico Fermi and to promote the dissemination and communication of scientific culture.

Since 2023, I have been a Senior Researcher at the Historical Museum of Physics and Enrico Fermi Research Center (CREF), where I previously held the roles of researcher and postdoctoral research fellow for several years.
My academic background was developed at the University of Bologna, where I graduated cum laude in Philosophy and earned my PhD, and at the University of Geneva, where I earned a DEA (Diploma of Advanced Studies) in the Social and Cultural History of Knowledge and Health Practices.
My scientific activity focuses mainly on the history of science between the 18th and 20th centuries, with particular attention to physics, scientific institutions and research laboratories, science communication, and gender studies.
Over the years, I have explored in depth the history of the Physics Institute of Rome and the scientific legacy of via Panisperna, integrating archival research with public outreach, museology, and public engagement.
Alongside my research activities, I am extensively involved in scientific coordination, cultural organization, and communication.
Since 2022, I have been coordinating the Enrico Fermi Museum Committee at CREF, supervising projects aimed at enhancing historical-scientific heritage, museum development, and communication strategies.
I am also the scientific head of numerous collaborations between CREF and Italian universities, including Sapienza University of Rome and the University of Rome Tor Vergata, for internship, training, and research activities.
Throughout my career, I have developed a vast network of collaborations with universities, museums, scientific societies, archives, and European institutions. I collaborate with entities such as the University of Bologna, Sapienza University of Rome, the Musée Curie in Paris, the European Physical Society, and various networks dedicated to the history of science and science communication.
Since 2021, I have been the CREF representative for the European Researchers’ Night project within the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, and since 2026, I have been a member of the Scientific Committee of the Genoa Science Festival and the Board of the Physics Museum at Sapienza.
I am also deeply engaged in editorial activities and science communication. I am a member of the Editorial Board of the Giornale di Fisica of the Italian Physical Society, I have collaborated with Quaderni di Storia della Fisica, and I have curated outreach content for SIF Prima Pagina.
Since 2004, I have been coordinating the editorial and scientific development of Scienza a due voci, the first online biographical dictionary dedicated to Italian women scientists between the 18th and 20th centuries—a project that integrates historical research, digital humanities, and public outreach.
My experience also includes designing historical-scientific exhibitions, producing documentaries, and providing scientific consultancy for television and audiovisual productions dedicated to the history of physics and the role of women in science.
Among my most recent projects are the documentary film Una cattedra per Laura Bassi, awarded by the Italian Physical Society in 2021, and collaborations with Rai Storia, Mediaset/Focus, and Artemide Film.
My scientific production includes monographs, edited volumes, peer-reviewed articles, and international contributions dedicated to the history of physics, Italian scientific institutions, and the presence of women in scientific research. Among my most significant publications are studies on Pietro Blaserna, Orso Mario Corbino, the Enrico Fermi Museum, and the women of the Physics Institute of via Panisperna.
