I am currently a PhD student at the University of Padova, supported by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Scholarship. Originally from Sicily, I earned both my BA and MA at the University of Lugano (USI), where I developed a strong interest in metaphysics, philosophical logic, and philosophy of language.

My research focuses on the criteria of identity and individuation for natural objects and artefacts, with particular attention to facts and statements of identity. I am especially interested in their explanatory role—both semantic and metaphysical—and in how these issues connect to questions of ground and ontological dependence.

As part of my academic career, I have held visiting positions at the University of Neuchâtel and the University of Oxford.
