Italian Studies

Samuele Capanna is a first-year graduate student in Italian Studies. He graduated in 2019 (BA) and 2022 (MA) from the Università degli Studi di Genova (UNIGE) with degrees in Modern Literature: both of his thesis were dedicated to contemporary Italian poetry, with a special focus on the context of 21st-century scritture di ricerca. In 2020 he studied for a semester at Stockholm University, specifically in the Culture and Aesthetics department thanks to an Erasmus scholarship. During his years at UNIGE he worked as a tutor by providing constant support to students with disabilities and DSA. Out of the academic context, Samuele has always been involved in many volunteering activities: he spent his European Volunteering Service (EVS) in Poland in 2018, and in 2019 he co-founded with some friends the youth network Nassa which still operates in his hometown (Sestri Levante) with several social purposes.
