I am a Digital Humanities scholar and ICT District Leader at Dedalus S.p.A., working at the intersection of textual scholarship, digital philology, and large-scale healthcare ICT governance.

My background (PhD, University of Palermo) and my professional responsibilities converge in a research practice that integrates critical editing, TEI/XML modeling, genetic criticism, and AI-assisted philological workflows.
