Thesis

I consider my undergraduate thesis to be my best work to date. Titled "The 'ndrangheta in the Province of Asti.

Thesis

In continuity with my studies at the Ecole Normale Supérieure and the two years of my Master's program, I completed my thesis, "Analysis of the European Union's communication during the pandemic: strategies, institutions, and media in Europe).

I then studied how much of this strategy influenced newspapers in Europe by analysing articles published by Politico.eu, Euractiv, Euronews, and five other Italian publications
