WIRL-COFUND Fellow 2019-2021

As a Romance philologist, my main interests are medieval European lyric, manuscript studies, music, and digital humanities.

I graduated with a degree in Romance philology at Sapienza Università di Roma, specializing in Old French and Old Occitan language and literature, with a comparative and interdisciplinary approach. I obtained my joint Doctorate degree in Scienze del Testo from Sapienza and PSL - École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris with a dissertation dedicated to the critical edition of the songs with music of the troubadour Peirol.

In 2016 I was an Ingénieur d'études for the CNRS in Toulouse II - Jean Jaurès where I worked on the digital edition of the music of manuscript BnF fr. 22543; in 2018-2019 I was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge.
