About

I am currently Postdoctoral Associate in Italian and Digital Humanities at Rutgers University, teaching and conducting research at the intersection between digital humanities and digital philology, Medieval and Early modern literature, history of the book, Petrarch and Dante.

I am editor of the Petrarchive (with Wayne Storey and John Walsh) and Italian Paleography (with Lia Markey and Maddalena Signorini). I recently edited a special issue on digital paleography for the Early Modern Digital Review (Fall ’20) and serve as digital editor for Textual Cultures , the journal of the Society for Textual Scholarship.

I am currently working on a new digital edition of the Albizi Memorial Book and a monograph on forms and textualities of Medieval memorial books.

Before joining Rutgers Italian Department, Isabella was Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Newberry Library in Chicago and earned her PhD in Italian and Medieval Studies at Indiana University.
