A Sorbonne graduate – top of her class, with first-class honours – and a former white-collar and corporate crime lawyer in the United States, she returned to Italy after eight years spent between Paris, Brussels, and New York.

Since March 2022 she has reported on the ground from the war in Ukraine, spending extended periods in conflict zones and writing for Limes, the Italian journal of geopolitics. In October 2023 she spent over a month between Israel and the Palestinian Territories covering the war in the Middle East for newspapers including Il Messaggero and The Huffington Post. Since then she has continued to work regularly across the region — including Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Iraqi Kurdistan, and Syria — publishing geopolitical reportage in numerous outlets.

In 2023 she published Geopolitica. Capire il mondo in guerra (Piemme) with a foreword by Lucio Caracciolo, later presented at the Library of the Italian Chamber of Deputies under the auspices of the Presidency. In 2025 she published Gruppo Portaerei Cavour – Oltre gli orizzonti [Beyond the Horizons] (Giunti, in collaboration with the Italian Navy), an account of the first Indo-Pacific deployment of the Italian Carrier Strike Group, which she sailed with aboard the aircraft carrier Cavour in September 2024. She is the author and host of the geopolitics podcast Il Grande Gioco [The Great Game] and the author of the geopolitical newsletter Extrema Ratio. She also writes columns for several outlets, including Informazioni della Difesa, the official magazine of the Italian Ministry of Defence.

Since April 2026 she has been Professor of Geopolitics for Executive Master’s programs at Rome Business School. She lectures at universities and companies and advises managers and institutions on geopolitical risk. A regular guest on national television and radio, where she comments on international affairs, she is also an invited speaker at international conferences on geopolitics and defence.

In June 2025 she won the special award “Opening New Ways of Journalism” at the Ischia International Journalism Award, one of Italy’s most prestigious journalism prizes, “for her ability to convey complex international current affairs with clarity, rigor, and depth, making geopolitical issues, often reserved for a specialist audience, accessible to the general public.”

She speaks fluent English and French
