My research focuses on the early medieval Mediterranean, with particular emphasis on Arab-Byzantine frontier issues and settlement dynamics, especially in early medieval Byzantine and Islamic Sicily. I am currently directing the excavation of Rocca di Novara (Novara di Sicilia - ME), a Byzantine kastron dating from between the 9th and 10th centuries, which offers a fascinating insight into the militarised society of Byzantine Sicily and its various cultural components.
