Description of the research areas

The chronology of my research goes from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, from Lucrezia Borgia to Puccini. The thematic area from and disputed attribution texts, to the study of Dante's fortune (17th and 19th centuries), to biographies and letters, to Masonic and Jacobin literature (Masonic almanacs of the 18th century, studied since the doctoral thesis ), to the dissemination and to university manuals, to the culture of the carnival and that of food and that of the body in the rhetoric of the doctor-patient relationship. A specific area of my work is that of correspondence from the 16th to the 18th century, attested by the publication of numerous articles and two monographs. Gender relations and women's access to public life have directed my research to the study of the originals of the Familiares by Lucrezia Estense de Borgia, from the state archives of Mantua and Modena. In the eighteenth century the study of the production of Carlo Goldoni and Giacomo Casanova has found prominence not only in the publication of numerous studies but above all in the participation in important international conferences.
