I received my laurea in Italian literature in 2005 from the
University Ca' Foscari of Venice, with a dissertation on the religious turn in
the writings of Elémire Zolla and Cristina Campo. I hold a Master’s degree in
language teaching (University Ca' Foscari, 2011) and an M.A. in Italian
Literature (University of Pennsylvania, 2012). I am now working towards the
completion of my Ph.D. in Italian with a focus on 20thcentury literature.
