Giulia Bellato is a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, specializing in medieval history. She completed her PhD under the supervision of Professor Caroline Goodson. Bellato holds an MA in Medieval Renaissance Studies from University College London and another MA (Hons) in Ancient Medieval History from the University of Edinburgh. In 2015, she participated in archaeological fieldwork at various significant sites across Lazio, Georgia, Sicily, and Morocco. Currently, she is a postdoctoral grant holder at the University of Turin, working on a project investigating Italian 'incastellamento' through a multidisciplinary lens that integrates archaeological, archaeometric, historical, and hard sciences perspectives. Her research primarily explores the period A.D. c.700-c.1200, with a focus on the Italian peninsula, while also maintaining a comparative perspective on the Mediterranean region. Bellato's interest lies in understanding the dynamics of medieval urban life and the interplay between the built environment and daily political practices. Her work employs both historical and archaeological sources, aiming to illuminate how medieval cities functioned and communicated power and identity through architecture and space.
