His educational background includes dual doctoral qualifications:

- Doctor of Philosophy in French Literature from the Romanisches Seminar, University of Zurich
Dr. Gensini's research centers on Medieval Literature with specialized focus on Arthurian traditions in French prose romances (Petit Cycle to Vulgate), intertextuality across medieval textual traditions, narrative cyclization mechanics, and classical reception in 13th–14th century Italian literature—particularly classical sources in Boccaccio's early works. His scholarship examines how medieval authors transformed antique motifs through complex textual interference and cyclical narrative structures.
He maintains active membership in four international scholarly societies:
- Italian Society of Romance Philology
- International Arthurian Society – Société Internationale Arthurienne
- American Boccaccio Association
- Société de Linguistique Romane
