Dr. Luisa Andriollo


Luisa is an accomplished historian of the Byzantine Empire who joined the team directly after her fellowship at Princeton University.

Deeply rooted in French academia, she obtained her doctorate in cotutelle from Paris IV Paris-Sorbonne and Pisa and published the resulting book on Middle Byzantine administration in French.

The task of elucidating the role of minutes in Late Antique administrative contexts is a challenging subject that requires dedication, diligence and an impeccable competence in the ancient languages—all of which are skills Luisa brings to the team.
