Secondary School Teacher & Education Blogger

Giulia Rossi teaches Italian Literature and Latin at Liceo Classico Alessandro Manzoni in Milan, where she has been on staff for eleven years and currently leads the school's Lingue e Civiltà curriculum committee. A graduate of the Università degli Studi di Milano (Laurea Magistrale in Lettere Classiche, 110/110 con lode), she completed her abilitazione through the TFA Secondaria cycle (A11/A13 classes) and later trained teachers across the Lombardia region through MIUR-accredited professional development courses on differenziazione didattica and cooperative learning. Her specialty subjects are tightly defined: Maturità preparation for the written and oral Italian examination, teaching Latin grammar and prose translation to students aged 14-19, designing mappe concettuali and graphic organisers for complex literary texts, and applying formative assessment (valutazione formativa) in weekly classroom cycles. She co-authored a handbook on teaching Dante's Divina Commedia with contemporary cultural references, distributed to 12 licei classici in the Lombardia region. Mother of two teenagers, she runs a bilingual Italian/English blog with over 8,000 monthly readers from Italian families and expat communities in Switzerland and Germany. Her blog posts draw on INDIRE research and the principles of cooperative learning. Her teaching philosophy: classical literature is not a museum — it is the best available laboratory for learning to argue, to doubt and to write with precision.
