In particular, she deals with travel writing, the relationship between literature and science, ecology, literature and pictures, temporality and the study of literary genres. Arianna’s doctoral project concerns odeporic writings and, more specifically, the narrative reportage of Italian writers who travelled to the United States in the 20th century and up to more recent contemporaneity.

She has participated in national and international conferences and her work is being published in Fascia A journals and volumes.
