Phd in CLASSICAL AND MODERN ITALIAN STUDIES

Martina Petri (Rome, January 14th, 1994) graduated cum laude in Modern Literature at "La Sapienza" University of Rome discussing a thesis in Latin Literature entitled "Il genere della consolatio tra Ovidio e Seneca" (supervisor prof. Antonio Marchetta).
In 2019 she obtained her master's degree in Modern Philology cum laude at the same University with a thesis in Italian Literature, "Ugo Foscolo: le Lettere dall'Inghilterra", based on Foscolo’s letters written from England during his exile (supervisor professor Silvia Tatti; co-advisor professor Aviera Bussotti).

She is currently a PhD student in Italian Studies for the XXXVI cycle in co-tutorship with the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle of Paris III.
Her project proposes to start a philological and literary analysis of the autograph and apograph material that testifies to the various editorial stages of the mentioned "Lettere scritte dall'Inghilterra".
The goal of this research is to catalogue and reorder the papers of volumes XV and XVI of Foscolo’s manuscripts, which are preserved at the Labronica Library in Livorno, in order to make a proposal for a critical edition of "Lettere scritte dall'Inghilterra".
