About Giulio's Work
I am an environmental engineer, currently working on multiple research projects in the Mediterranean Area, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South America. I hold a PhD in Sustainable Management of Agricultural Forestry and Food Resources, from the University of Florence (2018). During my PhD, I focused on water harvesting, water resources management and participatory approaches in international development. Alongside my PhD, I worked for the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) in Sudan and for the World Bank.
I am currently appointed as Assistant Professor in Agricultural Hydraulics and Watershed Protection at the University of Florence Water Harvesting Lab.
