Professor of Demography at the University of Firenze (Italy), I am a member of several national and international professional associations (EAPS, PAA, AIDELF, ...). I have participated in a few international research projects (e.g. “FAMICHIP - New Family Patterns in Italy and Poland: Finding the Determinants of the Change” and “MAGGIE - Major Ageing and Gender Issues in Europe”).
My main research interests are those that link demography to economics, e.g. ageing and pension problems, and cost of children.
