Since October 2021 she has been a Ph.D. Student in Early Modern History at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (with a cotutelle agreement with the University of Padua). Her Ph.D. project, entitled «Between cure and control: doctors, convicts and slaves of Tuscan and papal galleys (1571-1771)», aims to comprehensively investigate the theories, mechanisms and practices of (medical) vigilance put in place towards the galleys’ convicts and slaves in Livorno and Civitavecchia between the 16th and 18th centuries. In particular, it analyses and questions the role and tasks of a figure often neglected by historiography: the galley doctor, who was responsible not only for the health of the crew, but also for maintaining order and discipline. Between July 2021-July 2023 she has been a research assistant at the Institute for Medical Humanities of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, as part of the SFB 1369 „Vigilanzkulturen: Transformationen. Räume. Techniken“ of the LMU- Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Subproject C02 „Vigilanz als Ideal, Strategie und Methode in der medizinischen Kultur der Vormoderne“). In 2023, her research will also be supported by the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel (Rolf und Ursula Schneider-Siftung), and the Deutsche Historische Institut of Rome (Max Weber-Stiftung).
