Interview with David Abulafia, Professor of Mediterranean History at the University of Cambridge

Interview with David Abulafia, Professor of Mediterranean History at the University of Cambridge, conducted by journalist Ginevra Leganza.

At the heart of the conversation was a dialogue with Professor David Abulafia, one of Europe’s leading historians, renowned for his work on the history of maritime civilizations and his ability to interpret the Mediterranean as a space of exchanges, encounters, and conflicts that have shaped the course of global history.

Author of seminal works such as The Great Sea: A Human History of the Mediterranean and The Maritime History of the World, Abulafia offered an analysis of the central role the Mediterranean has played over the centuries: a crossroads of trade, religions, empires, and diverse cultural exchanges.
