Her academic work spans Italian linguistics, philology, lexicography, and the teaching of Italian as a second language.
Her research interests are broad and interdisciplinary, focusing on the linguistic-philological analysis of Boccaccio’s autographs, Manzoni’s prose, and the multifaceted contributions of Niccolò Tommaseo as a lexicographer and educator.

She also investigates the integration of visual and verbal texts, particularly in illustrated editions of I Promessi Sposi.
Her recent publications and research projects, including the ERC-funded Graff-IT and the PRIN project PHRAME, reflect a strong trend toward interdisciplinary methodologies combining philology, digital humanities, and language pedagogy. These works emphasize historical textual analysis, phraseological complexity in learner Italian, and the diachronic evolution of Italian language use.
Francesca Malagnini is actively involved in major research initiatives and academic publishing. She contributes to the Lessico Etimologico Italiano and has authored influential monographs on historical Italian language teaching and exposed writings. Her leadership in the PRIN and ERC projects demonstrates her role in shaping contemporary Italian linguistic and philological research.
She teaches a variety of courses in the Digital Humanities and Made in Italy programs, including Elements of History of the Italian Language, Professional and Web Writing, and Italian for Communication Laboratory. Her pedagogical approach integrates historical linguistics with practical language skills, particularly in professional and digital contexts. She supervises research teams and projects, though specific advisees are not listed in the provided text.
