Research summary
AI-generated

Dana Renga studies Italian cinema and television, with particular attention to how mafia and crime stories are represented on screen, casting practices and stardom in Italian TV, and broader questions of gender, memory, and Fascist-era history in Italian culture. Much of the recent work examines popular crime series like Gomorrah and Suburra, alongside topics in Italian women's cinema and post-war Italian society. This research would suit students interested in media studies, film/television analysis, and Italian cultural or historical studies.
