Andrea has worked on Greek epic (Homer and Hesiod) and lyric (especially Pindar), but also on Greek drama (especially Sophocles and Euripides). His aim is to combine traditional approaches to ancient Greek and Latin texts, such as textual criticism and philology, with more modern and transversal perspectives from reception studies (especially rewritings of Greek tragedies in the 20th century), translation studies (also from a pedagogical point of view), ecocriticism and cognitive studies.
