Her doctoral project (“Education in Sixteenth-Century Italy between Latin and Italian: teachers, students and methods”) investigates the interaction between Latin and Italian in Sixteenth-century school in Italy, examining some minor teachers and their didactic works on grammar, rhetoric, epistolography, and other helpful didactic tools, such as Latin-Italian dictionaries and Italian translations of classical authors.
