Licini Stefania

Licini Stefania is a Professor at the University of Bergamo's Department of Management and a faculty member of the Doctoral Program in Management, Accounting, and Finance. She specializes in teaching Economic and Business History at graduate and postgraduate levels.

• Education: Ph.D. in Economic and Social History (1989) and Bachelor's in Economic and Social Disciplines (1981), both from Bocconi University.

Her research focuses on inequality and elites, business history, and gender history, with particular emphasis on late 19th- and early 20th-century Italy. She employs prosopographic methods, probate records, and archival analysis to study economic agency, wealth transmission, and gender dynamics in historical contexts.

The 15 most recent publications trace trends in gendered economic history, probate record analysis, and historical business demography. These works examine Milanese entrepreneurial families, female wealth holders, and institutional mechanisms reproducing inequality.

• Scientific Awards: Fulbright Distinguished Lecturer Grant (2008), peer reviewer for international journals, and editorial board member for "Business and History."

She serves as scientific coordinator for archival research projects preserving the Business Register Archive and Succession Register Archive in Bergamo, while maintaining collaborations with institutions like the Legler Foundation and Dalmine Foundation.
