Dr Katia Pizzi's publications, particularly her book A City in search of an Author: The Literary Identity of Trieste (2001) discussed authors from Trieste within their wider cultural and historical context and addressed issues of identity formation linked to memory, nationhood, gender, ethnicity and confession. She has since taken her research further into the domain of cultural memory and is a member of the European research project ACUME. Her work and publications on children's illustration and comics have developed into a wider interest in the Futurist avant-garde and she is researching a book on the Futurists' sustained interest in dynamism and machines (e.g. arte meccanica) together with their international mindset, which led to contacts and extended residence outside Italy.
