I am an Associate Professor of Italian Studies. My research interests revolve around the relationship between art, science, and literature.
My areas of competence are 20th-century Italian poetry, the interaction between literature and visual arts, as well as contemporary Italian literature seen in the light of theories and practices at the intersection between the humanities and natural sciences.
I also research on science dissemination in post-war Italy and on literary representations of the relationship between the human and the machine.
I teach both ancient and modern Italian literature and culture, as well as Italian language proficiency. I supervise and examine theses in Italian literature and culture.
