Federica Rossetti studied Classics in Naples before starting her doctorate in 2014 in a joint doctoral program between University of Strasbourg and University of Naples. Her research interests deal with Italian Humanism and Renaissance Latin, in particular with commentaries on Classics written in the 15^th and 16t^h centuries.

Her doctoral thesis concerns the reception of Persius’ Satires in the Renaissance period and it provides the critical edition of the commentary on Persius of Giovanni Britannico (1481), an Italian humanist and printer from Brescia.

After her Doctorate, she was post-doctoral fellow of the LBI for Neo-Latin Studies in Innsbruck (October 2017-March 2018), of the Société Internationale des Amis de Cicéron (April 2018-March 2019) and of the Herzog August Bibliothek of Wolfenbüttel (March-August 2019).

In 2020 she worked as post-doc researcher at University of Strasbourg on the funded project of edition of Beatus Rhenanus’ Correspondence (vol. 2, SHR, Brepols) directed by James Hirstein.

Currently she is working on the Basinio da Parma’s Hesperis project, financed by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF).
