Elena Vacca

My name is Elena Giulia, and I was born in Rome. I have always nourished an insatiable curiosity for classical languages (nomen omen!). When I was a child I used to roam around in my city, writing down all the Latin inscriptions of top of churches and buildings, which were patiently translated by my mother, who was a Latin teacher herself. I studied in the Liceo Classico and after that I graduated in the University of Rome “La Sapienza” with a thesis on Latin Satire. I studied in the Vatican City and obtained a degree in Archiving. I moved to Dublin for the following year, obtaining my second MA in Classics, with a work on Classical reception in James Joyce. This inevitably led me to my current field of research. I am in fact a DPhil student in Oxford University, where I am studying Lev Tolstoy and his interests in Classical tragedy. I have been teaching Classical Greek and Latin for 15 years and I have been a tutor in CityLit since 2019. I also work in Oxford University as a Latin instructor for the Outreach programme. I very much enjoy teaching Classical languages and sharing my passion for these ever growing and fascinating subjects!
