I’m an urban planner based in Milan specialized in territorial policies with 15 years of experience in local economic development projects funded by European, national and regional institutions. I concentrated my work on agricultural development with a focus on urban-rural connections for the economic territorial development of peri-urban and rural territories. I supported the set-up of new rural districts in Lombardy and I collaborated with different public institutions in managing European projects related to agricultural and food topics, such as: for Lombardy Region RUMORE Rural-Urban Partnerships Motivating Regional Economies (Interreg Europe); for Municipality of Milan, Urban Economy Directorate, OpenAgri – New Skills for New Jobs in Peri-urban Agriculture (Urban Innovative Actions), Reflow - constRuctive mEtabolic processes For materiaL flOWs in urban and peri-urban environments across Europe (H2020). From early 2022, I’m part of the Milan Food Policy team as project manager of Food Trails (H2020).
