Main fields of research

My current research is centred on the foundation of the law of state succession in a historical comparative framework. Actually, I am analysing the pragmatisation of the ‘law of nature and nations’ during the international dispute between Grand Duchy of Tuscany and Holy Roman Empire arising from the Medici dynastic crisis (1700-1737), in the contest of the three eighteenth-century Wars of Succession. In addition to the early modern history and the history of political and legal international thought, my broader academic interests are intellectual history, the history of universities, book circulation and libraries.
