PhD in Education and Children's Literature.
Associate professor of Theory and History of Children’s literature at the Department of Philosophy, Sociology, Education and Applied Psychology FISPPA at the University of Padova. She has lectured as a visiting professor at several European universities and been an invited speaker at numerous international conferences (Brazil, Germany, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Turkey).
Her main research fields include picturebooks, reader-response, fairy-tales, architecture and interior design, fashion, ecocriticism, object-oriented literary criticism, and Italian children’s writers.
She participated to several Italian and international research projects, and carried out applied research projects with schools, public libraries and children’s publishing houses. She coordinated qualitative studies on reader-response theory in kindergartens and nursery schools.
She is presently involved, as Task Leader, in the European Project “Green Dialogues – Teacher training in environmental children’s literatre through dialogic teaching practices”, a NOTED-funded 4-year project from 2022-2025”.
She is director of the postgraduate course in Children’s Literature at the University of Padova.
She has published more than 100 papers in various high-quality peer-reviewed journals and qualified international conferences.

She is member of the Advisory Board and the Steering Commitee of the
European Network for Picturebook Research and of the Child and the Book network.
She is active member of the International Research Society for Children’s Literature.
She is also been invited by the executive board to participate in
the Awards Committee of the IRSCL, to evaluate academic publications
on children’s literature in Italian as potential nominees for the IRSCL book award
and by another executive board to become a mentor in the IRSCL mentoring program,
which is to advise junior colleagues on matters such as academic publishing and grant applications.
She has translated the IRSCL’s Statement of Principles into Italian, and has supported its dissemination in the various languages of our society by reading it on video, on the IRSCL youtube channel (see https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJXBmrejhFeHCFdfeV6ECQ).
