Since 2007, I have been teaching Humanities in high schools and Ancient Numismatics in undergraduate courses at Italian and Brazilian universities. I have experience in the initial restoration, research, and cataloging of ancient coins as a collaborator in the museums of Syracuse (Paolo Orsi), Ragusa (Museo Archeologico), Camarina (Museo Archeologico Regionale), and São Paulo (Museu Paulista and Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da Universidade de São Paulo - USP). I have participated in archaeological excavations in Italy and the Amazon, Brazil. From 2015 to the present, I have conducted research and topographic surveys in collaboration with Italian and foreign colleagues and completed two internships abroad with the University of Palermo (Italy). My research interests focus on Sicilian Archaeology in the following areas: Greek and Roman Numismatics, the relationship between Greeks and non-Greeks in the Archaic and Classical periods, Topography, and Landscape Archaeology. I completed a postdoctoral program in Ancient History at the Faculdade de Ciências Humanas e Sociais - Unesp Campus de Franca, where I am the coordinator of the Archaeology Laboratory, Lab.Arque. Currently, I teach Art History at the International School Eugenio Montale (São Paulo) and conduct postdoctoral research at the University of São Paulo, focusing on Greek coins from major Brazilian collections. Additionally, I am a member of LABECA (MAE/USP); G.LEIR (UNESP Franca); the Ancient Numismatics Study Group (Capes); the Archaeology nucleus of the Areté Association (São Paulo); the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA); the World Archaeology Congress (WAC); and SiciliAntica-sede di Caltanissetta (SA).
