Piergiorgio Bruno
Visiting Scholar
Piergiorgio Bruno is a Ph.D. candidate in Contemporary History at Centre d'Histoire de Sciences Po and La Sapienza University of Rome under the supervision of Alain Chatriot and Umberto Gentiloni. Graduated in History in Rome (La Sapienza) and Marseille (Aix-Marseille Université), he's now working on the relationship between advertising and politics in the United Kingdom, France and Italy during the 1980s. The analysis covers – from a comparative and transnational perspective – electoral and governmental communication at that time.
Based in Paris, he spent several months in Rome, London and Oxford, achieving his archival research. He attended the OxPo exchange between Oxford University and Sciences Po, and his project was awarded a grant from the Université Franco-Italienne (Vinci Program), the École française de Rome and the Académie française (Fondation Jean Walter-Zellidja).
His publications focus on the history of modern advertising and the British Conservative Party electoral communication machinery.
