Giselle Martinez

Biography

I’m a History student at the University of Milan (2023–2026), specialising in the French Revolution, especially in the Directory (1795 - 99). My thesis investigates the circulation of libertine literature during these years, examining how controversial 18th-century works moved through society and what their presence reveals about the political and cultural climate of the Directory.
I'm also passionate about Economic History and History of Economic Thought.
As a native Italian speaker, I work fluently in English, French, and Spanish, essential for navigating primary sources.
When I'm not researching or translating, I'm drawn to the outdoors through hiking and climbing, and to culture through art museums and cinema, particularly French New Wave and Commedia all'italiana.
In my free time, photography and crocheting offer other creative outlets.
