Dr. Villanova earned his degree in Astronomy at the University of Padova, in 2003 with his thesis: "Photometry and spectroscopy of open clusters in advanced dinamical phases", under the supervision of Dr. Giovanni Carraro and Dr. Gustavo Baume. He did his PhD at the same university, between the years 2004-2006, with the thesis: "Stellar Populations in the Globular Cluster Omega Centauri", under the supervision of: Dr. Giampaolo Piotto and Dr. Giovanni Carraro.

 
   
 

His research interests include multiple stellar populations in globular clusters. Dynamics of star clusters. Open clusters as evidence of the evolution of the galactic disk. Chemical evolution and dynamics of nearby dwarf galaxies, and chemical composition of stars, like test of the stellar evolution theories.
