His research interests span several areas, including nationalism, political violence, modern Italy, memory studies, and Cold War borderlands. Working within the broader field of political history, he also explores current phenomena such as right-wing political extremism and the rise of populist movements in twentieth-century Europe, especially the Mediterranean region.
