Personal Statement
I am an Italian economist and Jungian psychoanalyst based in Switzerland, whose professional trajectory has evolved from international finance to analytical psychology. This transition emerged from a personal and vocational calling to engage more deeply with the human psyche, leading to extensive clinical training and academic inquiry.
My research interests centre on the clinical and cultural applications of Jungian and post-Jungian theory, particularly the dynamics of the collective. I am especially drawn to the relationship between analytical psychology and Latin American cultural and spiritual traditions.
