He completed theses on Spinoza and Plato. After a brief spell at the University of Trento, he returned to Pavia in 2008, where he remained until 2015. He contributed to European Commission-funded research on a pluralistic European ethos at Trento (2007-2008); conducted MIUR-funded research on toleration at Pavia (2009-2012); managed European Consortium-funded research on toleration and respect across a range of institutions while based at Pavia (2010-11); and conducted MIUR-funded research on food politics and multiculturalism at Pavia (2012-15). He qualified as an Associate Professor in Political Philosophy in 2014, and held a senior von Humboldt fellowship researching politics and animals, working with Bernd Ladwig at the Free University of Berlin and Peter Niesen at the University of Hamburg (2015-17). He started at Genoa in 2017.[2]
