My principal research field is the institutional, operational and tactical history of the European Armies between 1713 and 1870. My research explores the complex relationship Italian States had with their army and other military forces (French, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Great Britain, U.S.A.) during the 18th and 19th centuries both on a grand scale (official diplomatic exchanges, technological exchanges, military cooperation) and at the tactical level down to the individual experience examining how the war affected the way they viewed themselves, each other, and the communities they lived in.

My research fields are also; • Weapons and military technology; • Warfare in the Age of Reasons; • Warfare History 1550-1900; • Wars of Italian Indipendence 1848-1870; • Fortress Warfare; • Mountain Warfare; • Guerrilla and counter-guerrilla Warfare.
