Person

I'm associate professor of Romance languages, in particular Italian, with a linguistic profile, and the Director of Romance and Classical Languages, and modern greek and the program/courses under the umbrella "multilingualism" regarding Mother tongue tuition and study guidance. I teach different courses of Italian at all levels as well as about Mother tongue tuition and study guidance, especially language acquisition.
My research field is language acquisition and bilingualism, mainly cross-linguistic influence, and code-switching in bilingual speech.

I have written about nouns and adjectives in the Italian language and about the relationships between the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and morposyntactic levels in language acquisition, A1-C2, and one about the acquisition of Italian and French at international schools. My current research regards mother tongue tuition.
