He continued his academic path at the same campus, completinghis master’s degree in Archaeological, Artistic, and Landscape Heritage: History, Protection, and Enhancement, graduating with honors (2025).
During his years of study, Leonardo participated in several archaeological field projects, working on Protohistoric sites in both Romagna and Sardinia. Alongside his fieldwork, he cultivated a growing interest in science communication and the role it plays in bridging the gap between research and the public. He also collaborated on the creation of the new exhibition route at the Grotte di Pradis Geosite and the Museum of the Cave in Clauzetto (PN), Italy, contributing to both content development and the visitor experience design.
Within the Last Neanderthals project, Leonardo’s goal is to broaden the project’s visibility and reach. He works on developing innovative communication strategies and new channels to connect diverse audiences with the latest scientific findings.
His mission is to make complex research accessible, engaging, and meaningful, ultimately strengthening public understanding of our shared human past.
