Stefania Gialdroni
I am a legal historian with a passion for interdisciplinary studies. I have been appointed Full Professor of Medieval and Modern Legal History at the Department of Private Law and Critical Legal Studies (DPCD) of the University of Padua (Italy) after having obtained, in 2020, an ERC Consolidator Grant for her project MICOLL: "Migrating Commercial Law and Language. Rethinking Lex Mercatoria (11th-17th Century)" (2021-2026): https://www.micoll-erc.eu.
In November 2020 I became specialist consultant for cultural heritage for the United Nations (UNICRI).
I hold a PhD in legal history both from the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy) and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (Paris, France) and in 2011 my first book, based on my doctoral thesis, was published ("East India Company. Una storia giuridica (1600-1708)", Bologna: Il Mulino). After having spent seveal years to study for my PhD around Europe (MPIER Frankfut am Main, LSE London and EHESS Paris) within the framework of the European Doctorate in European Legal Cultures (Marie Curie, 6th framework program) I came back to Rome in 2009, where I started teaching at Arcadia University, the College of Global Studies (course: "Human Rights in Historical Perspective", from 2010 until 2016, and Summer Program: "A European Human Rights Crisis", 2016). I have been part of digitalization projects of ancient legal manuscripts and books as a temporary research fellow of the Universities of RomaTre and Palermo (FIRB-MOSAICO Project and BOOKALIVE Project). In 2016-17, at the University of Helsinki, I took part, as a post-doc fellow, in the project "The Making of Commercial Law: Common Practices and National Legal Rules from the Early Modern to the Modern Period", funded by the Academy of Finland and the Finnish Cultural Foundation (http://blogs.helsinki.fi/makingcommerciallaw/).
With reference to teaching activities, I taught "Medieval and Modern Legal History" and "The Legal Protection of Cultural Heritage" for 3 years (2018-2021) at the RomaTre Law Department, where I have also co-organized the "Law and the Humanities" course from 2008 until 2019. Furthermore, I spent almost two years as a Tutor of Medieval and Modern Legal History at the online University UniNettuno, where I also taught the online course: "Storia giuridica e storia economica italiana" (2018). I am also co-creator of a seminar on Women's Rights (a.a. 2015-2016) entitled "Donne e diritti: pratica e teoria" in collaboration with ABuonDiritto onlus. Finally, I was guest professor at the Shepard Broad College of Law of the Nova Southeastern University in Florida for a series of lectures within the course "Introduction to EU Law" (August 2019).
I like using internet in connection with my teaching/reseraching activity: I am webeditor of the "Law and the Humanities at RomaTre" website (www.lawhumanitiesrome.org), creator of the blog of the Istituto Emilio Betti (www.istitutoemiliobetti.wordpress.com) and one of the founders of the association Visit Ostia Antica for the promotion of the cultural heritage of the area of the ancient harbors of Rome, and web-editor of the website www.visitostiaantica.org.
I am also a licensed tour guide.

The profile of the famous jurist from Ancona is traced through an examination of the various contributions that, over the course of more than one hundred and thirty-five years, have analysed Stracca’s life and works, including very recent archive research that has brought to light documents long believed to be lost.
What emerges is the figure of a jurist who was extraordinarily innovative in his decision to give scientific dignity to a branch of law that, until then, had been relegated to the margins of civil law, but was, at the same time, still profoundly linked to the tradition of the Roman-Canon ius commune.

Migrating commercial law and language. Rethinking lex mercatoria (11 th -17 th Cent.) -MICOLL ERC Consolidator Grant -101002084 PI
Narratives typically require a degree of coherence that implies at least some unity, but at the same time, pluralism is reflected in the adaptations, reinterpretations and counter-narratives that develop in response to dominant narratives. The aim of this workshop will be to critically investigate different narratives set in diverse european contexts, and to examine them through the lens of legal pluralism. By taking this approach, we can examine how narratives of unity shape and are shaped by legal and political pluralism in Europe. In addition, we can examine the extent to which there is space for pluralism within coherent narratives. The aim of the conference is to shed light on the impact of these narratives on perceptions of Europe, both for law and policy-making and for society as a whole.
