Cristina Setti

I am Research Associate at the University of Padua, where I am currently leading the three-years EU funded project “HINASTA – History, memory and cultural heritage between Nation- and STAte-building. Archives and Historiography in Pre-Unitarian Greece (19th-20th centuries)”. I am also member of the “équipe de recherche restreinte” of the international 5-years research program “Gouverner les îles. Territoires, ressources et savoirs des sociétés insulaires en Méditerranée (XVIe-XXI siècle)”, in partnership with the École Française de Rome .
I worked for long time in the field of Mediterranean Studies, especially on Venetian Grecophone dominions, as well as on Italian Early Modern States and societies. Lately I expanded my research interests in Venice as a hub for the connections between Central Europe and the Levant.
My main publication is the monograph: Una repubblica per ogni porto. Venezia e lo Stato da Mar negli itinerari dei Sindici Inquisitori in Levante (secoli XVI-XVII) (Milano: Unicopli, 2021).
