Warning These pages are work-in-progress due to me finding my way around Jekyll.

I am a researcher at the awesome Bibliotheca Hertziana - Max Planck Institute for Art History. A computer science at heart and by training, my upbringing with classics has led to a tumultuous relationship with Digital Humanities themes, from which I have emerged with a willingness do delve into these disciplines over and over, aided by the potency of the historical centre of Rome. I am a bit obsessed about semantic cataloguing for the histories of art, music, and science.

Talk to me about

• Linked Data and the applications of the Semantic Web to the Humanities
• Formal models for intangible cultural heritage (human experience, performative arts, rituals and tradition, endangered martial arts…)
• Remediation of legacy data and their integration with knowledge graphs
• Construction of semantic narratives and digital exhibition over data catalogues and digital publishing platforms
• Semantically-enriched hypermedia
• Video game history

Though digital art history and the Humanities are my focus in the years to come, I have previously worked on / received funding for research projects across multiple domains beyond the Humanities, including learning and education, Smart Cities, Industry 4.0, and content management systems. I will be happy to do further work on these and other disciplines, insofar as a human-centred dimension to them can be singled out.

I also enjoy

Cats, Cyberpunk/Dark SciFi literature, weird movies, extreme music¹, retro gaming, Shotokan Karate and a little cooking.
