My interests include Italian literature of the Middle Ages 
and Renaissance, with special focus on Petrarch, and
interdisciplinary relations between literature, cinema,
music, and art. I obtained my Italian laurea from the
University of Padova, with a thesis entitled Il dio Amore
tra mitografia e mitopoiesi da Boccaccio a Monti (2001).
My advisor was Prof. Manlio Pastore Stocchi.
In 2007 I got a PhD in Italianistica e Filologia Classico Medievale at the University Ca’ Foscari of Venezia, with
Prof. Gino Belloni. My dissertation title was Sulla prima diffusione del testo dei Rerum vulgarium fragmenta di Francesco Petrarca. Il ms. 4 della Biblioteca del
Seminario Vescovile di Padova e il ms. Correr 1494 della Biblioteca
del Museo Civico Correr di Venezia. I then joined the
Italian Department at the University of
Pennsylvania,
where I am studying towards a second PhD.
My current
research focuses on Paduan Humanism and
Humanist
Educational Treatises.
