Andrea Erny is a PhD student at the Institute of History at the University of Bern, specializing in Eastern European Studies. Her research focuses on the history of Central and Eastern Europe, with specific interests in Italy, Switzerland, World War II, Italian irredentism, fascism, and new diplomatic history.
