I am an Italian musicologist specialising in the history of opera from the late 18th century to the end of the 19th century, with a particular focus on Primo Ottocento Italian opera and French opera between 1770 and 1870.
My research on Italian opera centres on composers such as Antonio Salieri, Stefano Pavesi, Pietro Generali, Luigi and Giuseppe Mosca, and Carlos Gomes, alongside Rossini and Verdi.
In the realm of French opera, my primary interests—listed in order of priority—include Gaspare Spontini, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Antonio Salieri, Antonio Sacchini, Fromental Halévy, and Charles-Simon Catel.
