Sebastian catacomb (Rome). The published literature on the archaeological experiences is about both excavation data and findings.

Her epigraphic activity is directed to the study of executing techniques

of the inscriptions of the roman catacombs and the analysis of the interconnection between the epigraphic data and the topographic development of cemeterial regions.
