The main research interest is addressed at
the travel literature (reportages, diary, autobiographies) in the
Italian literature of
twentieth century. The
critical point of view assumed the most recent contribute of
cultural and postcolonial studies. This interest is connected with
the analysis of the concept of “translation”, in the field of
comparative
literature, and the effects produced by migration literature on the
canon of Italian literature.
A second field of research is concerned
with the writing of history, especially the intersection between
historiography reconstruction of the past and fictive
construction in the
contemporary novel. In short, it means to configure the changing
forms of historical novel in Italy, think about the
hybridisation with others genre (detective story, docu-drama,
fact-fiction) and abuot the debate of the history's ending and the
post modern literature.
