Curriculum vitae
Since 2020, Margherita Ferri has been a researcher in Medieval Archaeology at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. Her research investigates the intersection of material culture, socio-environmental factors, and history, aiming to reveal how local dynamics intertwine with broader themes of interest.
From her doctoral thesis, focused on Venetian ceramics during the Middle Ages, she has developed a strong interest in how changes in the production, distribution, and consumption of materials reflect the socio-economic transformations of the period. In her book Il vetro nell’alto Adriatico fra V e XV secolo (2022), she addresses Venetian glass through a detailed analysis of archaeological finds, synthesizing a large amount of data into articulated and accessible narratives.
Her work on the glass workshop in Comacchio has allowed her to outline the structures, production processes, and artifacts, providing a clear picture of the scale and organization of glass production in Italy during the early medieval period, along with the associated distribution networks and economic impact.
Margherita Ferri has also deepened her research at various Venetian lagoon sites, reconstructing histories of settlement and occupation across different periods. In particular, her work on San Giacomo in Paludo, conducted in collaboration with Cecilia Moine (L’isola di domani. Cultura materiale e contesti archeologici a San Giacomo in Paludo - Venezia, 2014), offers detailed insights into the daily life and material culture of the island's communities from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Through the analysis of ceramics and glass, enriched by chronological data, she highlights consumption patterns, trade connections, and the island's economic role within the Venetian context.
