First things first. I am surely not your traditional stereotypical scholar. That is why I call myself a “Rockstar Scholar.” Feeling like getting to know me, my background, my research interests, and my commitment better?
People and media continue to show interest in:
- My life journey, which has taken me from Coazzolo, a small village of 300 people in Northern Italy, to an American megalopolis like Los Angeles, with many adventures in Paris along the way;
- My renown as a scholar in Historical Linguistics, working at the most prestigious universities in the world, such as Sorbonne, UCLA, Harvard, etc.;
- My constant fight for gender equality and inclusivity in Academia fueled by being a victim of inappropriate commentaries and sexism by previous teachers and colleagues.
Below is a selection of my interviews, biographical accounts, and research presentations in Italian, English, Spanish, and French. Enjoy!
