Her chief research fields concern religion and burial customs, Etruscan and Greek iconography, ancient peopling and architecture. The study of religion mainly focuses on Dionysus / Fufluns and involves the analysis of tombs of Etruscan Po Valley, with special attention to Attic pottery and those funerary stones of Bologna called “stele felsinee”. The study of a whole, small necropolis of Etruscan Po Valley, Galassina di Castelvetro (Modena), is the object of a book edited by her in 2009. Interest in ancient peopling and topography mainly concerns the Adriatic see and both its coasts. Studies on architecture concern the roof of Etruscan buildings (houses and temples) of Marzabotto.
