Tommaso is an historian of Modern Italian architecture, Medievalism, and Risorgimento Studies. Graduated with honours at the Politecnico di Milano, he widely lectures internationally and teaches at the University of Edinburgh, where he also led the Prokalò Research Seminar series and was Convenor of the Edinburgh College of Art. His work, which draws on a mixed training in the Italian and Anglophone spheres, explores the pervasive reworking of the Middle Ages in post-Medieval architectural constructs and the interplay between architecture, medievalist cultures, and political dynamics in Risorgimento Italy.
