I hold a degree in Economics and law and a PhD in Land, Environment, Resources and Health from the University of Padua. My research and professional activities focus on nature financing, including Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and Nature-Based Therapies, with particular attention to private finance engagement, public–private partnerships, and blended finance mechanisms. More broadly, I am interested in sustainable finance and impact investing. In addition, my work includes the assessment of ecosystem services, with a specific focus on urban Nature-Based Solutions.
