I received a PhD in Classics from the University of Pisa, and then held research and teaching positions in Vienna, Oxford, Goettingen and Cambridge. Much of my research is in the field of papyrology: I enjoy combining editorial work with broader cultural-historical investigation, and I use papyri and other evidence to explore how Greek poetry was read, interpreted and studied in the Hellenistic and Roman worlds.
