She specializes in Alessandro Manzoni’s works, including critical editions of Fermo e Lucia and the previously unedited second draft Gli Sposi promessi. Her recent publications explore themes like ideological critique in texts, manuscript reconstruction, and editorial practices.

Her articles reflect a deep engagement with philological methodologies and the cultural contexts of literary production.
