Palaeontology enthusiast from a young age, I started my university career carrying on this passion about the study of life in the past. My studies regarded the vertebrate palaeontology, with particular attention to marine vertebrates. Now, my research is focused on the palaeobiology of the fossil marine mammals from the Pietra leccese formation (south Italy, upper-lower Miocene), also using digital investigation techniques such as the CT-scan and the finite elements analysis.
