I was born in Turin, Italy, in 1993. I've always been interested in language and semantic technologies: these interests drove me to Alma Mater Studiorum, in Bologna, where I graduated in Linguistics Sciences with a Master thesis titled Post-truth, populism and knowledge extraction - A frame semantics approach to Indirect Hate Speech.
My PhD thesis in Digital Humanities, titled Ethics in the Flesh - Formalizing Moral Values with Frame Semantics and Embodied Cognition, is focused on cognitive semantics, in particular on the formalization of values - as intended in ethics - with a strong commitment to embodied cognition perspective, structured via a frame semantics approach.
