Giulia Maria Gliozzi is a first year Ph.D. candidate in Italian Studies. She obtained her Bachelor's degree in Modern Italian Literature at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" focusing on Medieval and Renaissance Literature with a thesis on Lucrezia Tornabuoni’s correspondence.

Subsequently, she obtained her MA degree in Italian Studies from Boston College in 2022, working on Guittone d'Arezzo and writing a thesis in which she questioned the predominant reading of Ora parrà s'eo saverò cantare as a palinode of the amorous lyric.
