Letizia is an Assistant Professor of Marketing at the Faculty of Behavioural Management and Social Sciences (Entrepreneurship & Technology Management). I coordinate and teach BSc and MSc courses on marketing-related topics (digital marketing, consumer behaviour and research methodology).
I has been a visiting scholar at various universities and research institutes, including Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands), IULM University (Italy), Thapar University (India), The Private Label Manufacturers Association (The Netherlands), SRK University Bhopal (India), Chaudhary Charan Singh University of Meerut (India).
My objective is to contribute to developing knowledge about consumer behaviour that interests academia and companies.

My research lies in the field of Consumer Neuroscience (or Neuromarketing).
My aim is to understand the decision-making process and dynamics in an organizations related to trustworthy marketign practices. To do so, I study the physiological and neurophysiological mechanisms that underlying the buying decision process in both B2B and B2C. Specifically, I investigate the emotional, neuronal and cognitive processes involved in product assessment (e.g., price, brand and label) and sustainability issues.
I am a Review Editor for Frontiers in Neuroscience (Decision in Neuroscience).
