She has a degree in Agricultural Sciences (Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Bologna) with a specialization in Plant Protection. She spent a research period at the Department of Phytopathology of Wageningen in the Netherlands working on fungicide resistance monitoring. She has a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology on the research topic on Epidemiology and fungicide sensitivity in Stemphylium vesicarium (Brown spot) on Pear. She published about 200 works in scientific journals, conference proceedings, and conference communications. She is a member of the Board of the Italian Association for the Protection of Plants (2020–2025) and President of the main Italian Congress organization in Plant protection called “Giornate Fitopatologiche”. Her research activity is dedicated to the study of the activity of technical means, synthesis, and natural origin against numerous fungal and bacterial agents of many crops. In this context, a particular interest is addressed to the deepening of the mechanisms of resistance of fungal pathogens to the different active ingredients by biological and molecular approaches.
