Finozzi's research centers on Italian Postcolonial Studies through feminist, decolonial, and interdisciplinary lenses. She has made significant contributions to understanding children's literature, multilingualism, and digital media like podcasts within postcolonial contexts. Her work examines how literature functions as a space for knowledge production and challenges established narratives in Italian Studies. She has particularly focused on how postcolonial children's literature disrupts monolingual paradigms and questions social oppression through naming practices, spatial representation, and color symbolism.
Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent trajectory examining marginalized voices in Italian cultural production. Finozzi's work spans traditional literary analysis, pedagogical approaches to teaching postcolonial literature, and emerging media forms like podcasts created by second-generation migrants. She has contributed significantly to understanding how postcolonial perspectives reshape Italian Studies as a discipline globally.
Finozzi completed her PhD in Italian literature at Stockholm University in 2022. Her educational background includes a BA in Lettere Moderne from Milan (2013) with an Erasmus exchange at KU Leuven, Belgium, and a ReMA in Comparative Literary Studies from Utrecht University (2016) with an exchange at the University of Western Australia.
As an educator, Finozzi teaches across multiple levels of Italian literature curriculum, including specialized courses on migrant literature at the master's level. Her teaching reflects her research interests in expanding traditional literary canons to include postcolonial perspectives.
The Transcultural Literary Studies research group, where Finozzi is active, focuses on translation, circulation and reception of literature, and literary multilingualism. This collaborative environment supports her interdisciplinary approach to examining how literature functions across cultural boundaries.
