Education and career

[edit]

From 2016 to 2020 she taught at the University of Florence, and from 2021 to 2024 she has been working at the University of Bolzano/Bozen.

Works

[edit]

In her first book, Galatei. Buone maniere e cultura borghese nell’Italia dell’Ottocento (2004) she interpreted the etiquette books published in nineteenth-century Italy as a tool for building an ideal society.[1]. In her second monograph, Le vite e la storia (2010) she examined the characteristics a life had to have in order for it to become an autobiography in nineteenth-century Italy[2]. The collection of essays she edited, La storia raccontata ai bambini (2019), dealt with the transmission of history to children[3]. In her latest book, The Science of the Child in Liberal Italy (2024), she has brought to light a forgotten chapter in Italian history: the contribution of Italian teachers, scholars, and doctors to the international child study movement between the 1880s and the first World War.[4]
