As an experienced early modernist with a background in economics, her actual research interests focus on the practice and institutions that structured early modern commerce, and on the financial webs that sustained capital markets, particularly through early modern financial fairs. She had received full-funding assignments from the Departments of Management and of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, and from national and international research projects (University of Udine, Fondazione di Venezia, Fondazione Hermitage Italia, Italian Ministry of Culture, European Spatial Planning Observation Newtork), working as well with several art historians in projects related to early modern collecting and art markets, and resulting in several book chapters and contributions. She presently teaches an introductory course in Cultural Economics at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice.
