معرفی
Roberto Biolzi is a Senior Lecturer and Researcher 1 (MER1) in the History Section of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Lausanne (UNIL), where he teaches medieval history. He has been in this position since August 1, 2021, following prior roles as an assistant professor and graduate assistant at the same institution.
His educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in History from UNIL (2007), after which he pursued and completed his doctoral thesis in 2016 on war, warriors, and finances in the States of Savoy during the late Middle Ages.
Roberto Biolzi's research focuses on the 13th to 15th centuries, particularly in the States of Savoy, with an emphasis on the practice of war, financial systems, and the broader theme of the 'genesis of the modern state'. He employs accounting sources to investigate economic, social, and institutional dimensions of medieval governance. His scholarly output spans four languages and has contributed significantly to the study of Savoyard armies and fiscal administration.
In teaching, he covers diverse topics such as the history of war, heroes and legends, otherness, games, entertainment, and medievalism—the modern and contemporary reception of the medieval period. He is committed to public engagement and science popularization through collaborations with non-university institutions.
He was also a European Research Council (ERC) fellow in a Starting Grant project titled Record-keeping, fiscal reform, and the rise of institutional accountability in late-medieval Savoy: a source-oriented approach, led by Dr. Ionuț Epurescu-Pascovici at the University of Bucharest, during his tenure as assistant professor.
