I have organised and led reading and writing groups, for adults and children, both within and outside UCL. Details are below.

Creative Writing Lab in Italian and UCL
In 2022-23, together with writer and scholar Olga Campofreda, I led this creative writing group. Olga concentrated on prose, while I dealt with verse. We held eight sessions in total.
In 2021-22, I created this group and held thirteen meetings. We read in English from: Boccaccio, Bulgakov, Oliver Sacks, Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam, W. H. Auden, Beidao, Rupert Brooke, May Herschel-Clarke, Paul Celan, Gianni Rodari, Bertolt Brecht, Albert Camus, Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Giacomo Leopardi, Virginia Woolf, Dante, Paola Masino e Italo Calvino..
In 2025, I led five poetry workshops for pupils of the the Scuola Italiana a Londra (SIAL) in Y5 and Y6, in collaboration with primary teacher Serena Olmeda.
