I was born in Sarzana (SP), Italy. I grew up in Sarzana and in Bolano (SP). I studied philosophy at the University of Pisa (Laurea vecchio ordinamento, equivalent to BA+MA, thesis on modal realism and modal logic) and Scuola Normale Superiore (PhD, thesis on counterfactuals and modal epistemology). I was a visiting student first at the University of Sheffield (UK), where I started to be interested in aesthetics and philosophy of art, and then, for almost two years, at the University of Leeds (UK). I worked at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (South Korea 2011-12) for one year. I have spent most of my time after obtaining my PhD (June 2009) in Hong Kong (Lingnan University, 2009-2011 / 2012-Present). I was promoted to Associate Professor (with tenure) in July 2017. On the 16th of August 2020, I took up the positions of Head of Department of Philosophy (Lingnan) and Associate Dean (Research and Postgraduate Studies, Faculty of Arts, Lingnan).
