Graduated cum laude in 1988 in Prehistory and Protohistory of the Near and Middle East at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” with a thesis concerning the Late Uruk and Protoelamic period in southwestern Iran (end IV - beginning III millennium B.C). He obtains a fellowship at the Insitut für Ur-und Frühgeschichte of the Heidelberg University in 1991, where he works until 1995 and in 1996 he defends his Doktortitel with Honours (magna cum laude) in Prehistory and Protohistory at the Fakultät für Orientalistik und Altertumswissenschaft, of the Heidelberg University. His doctoral thesis, published in German in 1998, titled “Die Siedlung der Mittelbronzezeit von Arslantepe”, focuses on the development of societies at the beginning of the II millennium B.C. in the Upper Euphrates and Eastern Anatolian regions, with special attention to the site of Arslantepe (Eastern Turkey). In 2001 he obtains the Humboldt Research Fellowship at the University of Heidelberg, with a project on the phases of occupation of the first half of the II millennium B.C. in the site of Norşuntepe on the Upper Euphrates (Elazığ- Turkey), one of the most important prehistoric mounds excavated by the German archaeological expedition in Turkey. From 1989 he is permanent member of the Italian Archaeological Mission in Eastern Anatolia and regularly takes part in the research activity at Arslantepe-Malatya, one of the “Grandi Scavi d’Ateneo” (one of the main archaeological projects) of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Between 1996 and 2002 he carries out research on the origins of metallurgy in the Ancient Near East with funding from the Volkswagen-Foundation, in collaboration with the Bergbau Museum in Bochum and the “Istituto per le Tecnologie Applicate ai Beni Culturali” of the Italian CNR (Rome). His interest is focussed on the understanding of the role of metallurgy within the different phases of cultural development in prehistoric societies. He is co-author of various contributions on the first metallurgic productions. Since 1998 he is concerned with chronology and in particular the use of radiocarbon dating in archaeology, and cooperates with the C14 laboratory of Geophysic at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. He is currently member of the ARCANE ( Associated Regional Chronologies for the Ancient Near East and Eastern Mediterranean) project, a European Science Foundation funded project. His contribution within the project concerns the chronology of the III millenium B.C. of Eastern Anatolia. From 1999 to 2003 he is co-director of research at Zeytinli Bahçe Höyük (Urfa-Turkey), a rescue excavation within the TAÇ DAM Project. In 1999, within an interest in landscape archaeology, he coordinates the archaeological survey at Zeytinli Bahçe.

From 2003 to 2007, within this role, he directs the archaeological mission in Turkey for the: “Study of characters and development of settlement systems in the Upper Euphrates regions between V and II millennium B.C.”. This research has been internationally appreciated and positively apprised by the Italian diplomatic authorities in Turkey for its excellent cooperation with local bodies towards the protection of archaeological heritage. It has allowed the establishment of innovative methods for the identification of archaeological sites and the interpretation of the ancient settlement system, through an integration of archaeological categories and environmental variables. From 2009 he is “Associated Investigator of the Research Unit Program”-PRIN 2008, he directs the research titled: Interdisciplinary study on both use and storage of food through the various phases of centralization. His teaching experience begins between 1991 and 1995 at the Institut für Ur-und Frühgeschichte of the Heidelberg University, where he holds seminars on research methodology for pre- and protohistory. During 2003-2006 he has held MA (“laurea magistrale”) courses in “Prehistory and Protohistory of the Near and Middle East” at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, concerned with regional and methodological issues. From 2004 to 2007 he was appointed professor in “Prehistory of the Near and Middle East” at the First Specialization School in Archaeology (Scuola di Specializzazione in Archeologia I) and in “Euro-Asiatic Prehistory” at the Second Specialization School in Archaeology (oriental profile). He has been tutor and co-tutor of numerous graduation theses at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” and the Tuscia University. Since the 1st of January 2008 he is associate professor and teaches “European Pre- and Protohistory” and “Paletnologia” at the Department of Humanities, Communication and Tourism of Tuscia University in Viterbo.
