Italian Language Pedagogy

My scholarship focuses on Italian language pedagogy, and especially on the use of translation (including AV) in language learning. I am also interested in other areas, e.g. assessment, digital skills, use of literature and authentic materials.

Italian Literature of the Resistance

Along with my work in the field of Italian language pedagogy, I have a research expertise in the literature of the Italian Resistance, with a focus on intertexuality and links between classical (Latin, Greek) literatures and Italian XX century novelists, especially partisan writer Beppe Fenoglio (1922-1963), with a special interest in epics.
