Marco Martino is a PhD candidate in History at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, where his research explores the existential, cultural, and political ramifications of the Italian Communist Party’s collapse, with a focus on grassroots militants. His interests center on the nexus between history and memory, intra-party transformations, and the lived experiences—both individual and collective—of revolutionary upheavals and political transitions in the contemporary age.
As a teaching assistant in Comparative History of Political Systems at Luiss Guido Carli University in Rome, he guides students through the history of communism via a political anthropology framework, fostering critical analysis of comparative models, including Soviet, Western European, and Latin American socialist experiences.
Recent publications include Beyond Boundaries: New Perspectives on Italian Communist Historiography (Modern Italy, 2024), which examines new historiographical debates on the Italian Communist Party.
