Research Area

1) Manifesto Literature

In Futurism, which is positioned as a historical avant-garde, the manifesto, considered as an expression of a concept, has its own literary value.

2) Modern Italian Literature

The historicization of 20th century literature, whether in verse or prose, is still considered to be "modern = contemporary."

3) Camp Literature

I will focus on writers who served in World War I and aspired to literature after being imprisoned (Gadda, Tecchi), as well as a wide range of works written in and about the camps.
