My scientific interests focus on Hellenistic philology. In 2001, I published the first modern collection of the fragments of Crates of Mallos, a critic and philosopher who worked at the library of Pergamum in the 2nd century BC. I have since prepared an annotated edition of what remains of the works of some lesser-known grammarians and historians who continued Crates’ work in Pergamum (Filologia e interpretazione a Pergamo. La scuola di Cratete, 2014).
Currently, I am working on one of the most important figures of Hellenistic culture, the scientist, poet and philologist Eratosthenes of Cyrene. In particular, I am publishing a critical edition with translation and commentary of his fragments on philological and critical-literary topics in Eratosthenica, an open-access relational database for which I am responsible (www.eratosthenica.it).
I graduated and obtained my doctorate from La Sapienza. After teaching in secondary schools for a number of years, I moved to the UK. From 1996 to 2003, I was a Research Fellow and Lecturer in the Department of Greek and Latin at University College London. Since 2007 I have been an associate professor of Classical Philology at La Sapienza.
