I am a PhD student at the University of Geneva in the Department of Philosophy and member of the Episteme Group. I did my undergraduate study in philosophy and history at the University of Turin (Italy). I graduated from the University of Tourin with a thesis on the Knowability Paradox under the supervision of Prof. Diego Marconi (2006). Then I went to Padua where I started a Phd study under the supervision of Prof. Massimiliano Carrara. Actually I am a PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Pascal Engel. I am also part of the Swiss National Science Foundation research project "Pro*Doc Mind, Normativity, Self and Properties".
My main interests are in Epistemology, Ethics and Modal Logics. In particular, I work on Epistemic Normativity and Deontic and Epistemic Logics. I'm also interested in Theory of Meaning, Theory of Truth, Normativity in general, Logics in general. My PhD dissertation will be on Belief and Normativity.

Topic of the PhD thesis
Topic of my thesis is an analysis of the standard of correctness of belief, according to which a belief is correct if and only if the believed proposition is true. My analysis consists in the investigation of a set of aspects of the standard such as its source and normative nature, the role that it plays for the concept of belief, and the relation that it entertains with other epistemic concepts such as those of justification and knowledge.
