He is expert in Forensic Geo-Archaeology with a focus on geophysical prospecting (GPR, in particular), remote sensing, GIS and archaeology applied to crime scene investigations, missing persons and ancient crimes collaborating with several universities (such as CURML Lausanne in Switzerland, Nottingham Trent University in UK, The American University of Rome, University of Roma Tre in Italy), institutes (INPEF, in Italy) and national and international police forces. He has been a senior lecturer in Forensic Science and director of the Master of Forensic Science program at Nottingham Trent University.

Barone is an appointed Crime Scene Adviser by the IUGS Initiative of Forensic Geology and consultant for the ICRC (International Committee of Red Cross). Co-founder of Geoscienze Forensi Italia^®-Forensic Geoscience Italy and member of ANCRIM (National Association of Criminologists and Criminalists) CIfA (Chartered Institute for Archaeologists) and Conpef (National Coordination of Forensic Experts).

In 2017, 2018, and 2023 Barone won the Italian Investigation & Forensic Award for Excellence in Forensic Archaeology and Innovation Technology and is a member of the Management Council of the Italian Association of GPR. He is member of the International Response Team - Blake Emergency Archaeology and Anthropology Services. 

Barone has published more than one hundred books and articles in mainly international and peer-reviewed journals and is on the Editorial Board of several international journals.
