I am an Italian translator specializing in Charles Dickens. I have dedicated four years to translating a selection of his letters, previously unpublished in Italy. I am particularly interested in the history of Victorian literature and the connections between novels, history, and culture. I frequently travel to England in search of places associated with great 19th-century English novelists. Currently, I host a podcast (available on Spotify as "Viaggio nell'Ottocento") where I present Victorian England to an Italian audience in a lively and youthful – yet always accurate – manner. I have joined the British Association for Victorian Studies hoping to expand my network with scholars and enthusiasts of the Victorian era.
