I graduated at Universit脿 La Sapienza, in Rome, where I come from. I was then awarded my鈥疨hD鈥痠n Italian studies 2016 by the 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Warwick (UK). I have been a visiting fellow at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Seton Hall 深夜亚洲福利久久, Queen Mary 深夜亚洲福利久久 of London.鈥疢y research tackles representations of time (timelines, time travel, time names, continuity and discontinuity of time) in Italian theory and literature, particularly of the 19th and 20th centuries. My first book, 鈥淩ebuilding Post-Revolutionary Italy: Leopardi and Vico鈥檚 New Science鈥�, is currently in press by the Voltaire Foundation of Oxford. 

PROJECT OUTLINE: 鈥業talicity鈥� is a term recently coined to describe delocalized Italian identity (i.e. Italian communities abroad, writers of a different background who write in Italian) as opposed to nation-bound Italian-ness. However, Italian identity has for a long time confronted itself with the phantom of 鈥業talics鈥�, that is to say, those peoples who lived in the peninsula before the rise of Rome, which almost completely destroyed them. The term 鈥業talic鈥�/鈥橧talicity鈥�, therefore, has a history which I intend to uncover. Due to the mysterious nature of these peoples (they left little or no trace of themselves) and their being isolated in a remote past as well as in a peripheral space (the Italian South and the countryside), the culture of ancient Italians became in time a perfect 鈥榦pen鈥� space to project the obsessions and cultural tensions of modern times. My project will produce the first comprehensive study of the projections and manias originating from the myth of ancient Italians, from the Italian Unification period to date, including the tradition of Italian horror and science fiction that deals with the idea of the uncanny return of Italic peoples in ghostly, uncanny, phantasmic forms. I will devote special attention to how 鈥業talic鈥� identity challenged the traditional line of descent from ancient Rome as a peculiar feature of Italian identity. This forces us to decentralize our viewpoint on Italy, muddling the notions of nationality and ethnicity as fixed in time and space.鈥�
