I graduated from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (1991), at the same university I obtained a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics and Communication Languages. After graduating, I worked in different activities in the cultural industry at Rai and Finivest.

I am part of the Doctoral College in Art History, Film Studies, Media Studies, and Music of the Department of Humanities and Cultural Heritage and of the FilmForum Scientific Committee.
