Co-founder and editor,Quattrogatti.info

I am a co-founder and editor of quattrogatti.info. The Quattrogatti project offers an analytical news service on economic and social issues particularly to the layperson. We have covered topics like the debt crisis, the economic and social impact of migration, or how the mafia get hold of firms, just to name a few. Our distinctive feature is the emphasis we put on communication. We use animated videos, infographics and interactive presentations. These techniques allow us to explain complex issues in a simple and entertaining way, while maintaining a high rigor.

We provide a complementary service to traditional media explaining things from first principles and highlighting the difference between alternative perspectives. In this way we enable people to form their own opinion. We believe that a good society is an informed society. We want people to truly understand and be able to judge what their political leaders and decision makers are doing. As Thomas Jefferson said only a well informed citizenry is capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course.

I'm part of the global shaper community thanks to Quattrogatti, but this is not my primary activity although I dedicate a lot of time to it!

I am a final year PhD student in International Development at the London School of Economics, where I am also a Teaching Fellow in "Quantitative Approaches and Policy Analysis" for the Department of Economics.

I am the 2012 winner of the FEEM Award which is the young economist prize of the European Economic Association.

I have been a graduate teaching assistant in international economics (LSE), macroeconomic theory and policy (UCL) and micro and macroeconomics (LSE); for each of these courses I have been awarded a departmental teaching prize. I have working experience as a professional economist for the UNDP in Damascus, as an intern at the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean in Santiago de Chile, and as a research visitor at the Centro de Estudio de Estado y Sociedad in Buenos Aires. I hold a MSc Economics from the London School of Ecomonics, a BA (laurea triennale) and MA (laurea specialistica) in Economics from the University of Pavia.
