Her office resides in BB Comer Hall 217 with contact details cromanelli@ua.edu and (205) 348-5059.
Dr. Romanelli holds a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Her research centers on Italian cinema within global contexts, screenplay authorship, collaborative creative processes, postcolonial narratives, and intermedia experimentation. As a generalist in Italian literature specializing in modern and contemporary periods, she currently develops a book manuscript analyzing Pier Paolo Pasolini and Federico Fellini's cinematic relationship. Her work bridges film studies, literary criticism, and cultural theory with particular attention to marginalized perspectives.
Analysis of her 2009-2024 publications reveals sustained engagement with Pasolini's screenwriting contributions to Fellini's films, adaptations of literary works to cinema, and examinations of otherness in Italian cultural production. Key thematic threads include authorship models in collaborative filmmaking, postcolonial representations, and transnational co-production dynamics within European cinema.
