Gabriele Colella

My interest in the humanities, cultivated since I was a child, allowed me to undertake my studies with great determination and motivation. My love for Latin language and literature inspired me to write my triennial thesis (Linguistic comparison between Ovidian Heroides written by wives: analogies and deviations) and my master thesis too: Lematic commentary on chapters of Petronius' Satyricon: Petronius' creativity and reference models. Working on my master thesis taught me to grasp the complexity of a Latin text: through the essential tools of textual analysis, I’ve learned to investigate the semantic nuances of Latin terms, the originality of syntactic constructions and, above all, the strategies for the recovery of the reference models. After graduating in philology, I really want to share my knowledge and convey the passion for Classic literature and language through teaching. Studying the past educates to transmission: now my role is to transmit what I learnt and let my future pupils appreciate the beauty of classic word, as I did when I was younger. Although I have no experience in teaching, I have good interpersonal skills: I’m talkative and able to relate to others. Working closely with the kids doesn’t scare me: it motivates me. It is a challenge that I’m ready to face with great enthusiasm, always guided by love for Classics. I’m curious and enterprising boy and I’m sure I can best fulfil the role of your future Latin and Greek Teacher: the beauty of ancient languages and literatures is waiting for you and I'm here to guide you in this exciting trip!
