In 2023 I obtained the diploma in Ancient History and Classical Philology at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, with the highest marks and honors.
Since 2023 I am enrolled in the doctoral programme in Philology and History of the Ancient World at the University of Rome "La Sapienza", where I'm carrying out a thesis that consists in a re-edition, commentary and translations of the fragmentary drama of uncertain genre "Inachus" by Sophocles (Soph. frr. **269a- **295a Radt; supervisor prof. Maurizio Sonnino; co-supervisor prof. Laura Carrara).
My primary research area is classical Greek drama, especially fragmentary drama, in all its (sub)genres: tragedy, comedy, and satyr drama. I conducted research on Sophocles, Aeschylus, Aristophanes and Ion of Chios.
I was also trained in, and researched about, Greek palaeography and Byzantine literature. I attended the course of Greek Palaeography at the Vatican School of Paleography, Diplomatics and Archivistics, and took part in research projects about Byzantine hagiography.
I have been a visiting researcher at the "Aristotle" University of Thessaloniki, where I conducted my doctoral research under the supervision of proff. Christos Tsagalis and Anna Lamari.
In academic years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 I took part in the project "Theatron- Ancient Theater at Sapienza", coordinated by prof. Anna Maria Belardinelli, cooperating in an Italian translation for the stage of Euripides' "Heraclidae" and Sophocles' "Oedipus at Colonus".
I am the author of the following publications:
