He has held numerous positions in the University of Cassino: President of the Bachelor of Arts (1995-2001), President of the Center for International Relations (1993-1997), Pro-rector delegate for External Relations and International Relations (1997-2001), Deputy Pro-rector (2001-2007), Dean of the Faculty of Humanities (2003-2007), member of the Board of Directors of the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio (1984-1988 and 2016-2018).

His scholarly interests are oriented on figures and themes of late Latinity, such as Macrobius, of whose treatise De verborum Graeci et Latini differentiis vel societatibus he edited a critical edition, and the late antique grammatical tradition, to which he has devoted works that have addressed modes of composition, characterization and manuscript tradition of minor grammatical works, such as the orthographic treatises of Capro and Agrecio and the Explanationes in Donatum. In this area, his work has been both oriented on the value of linguistic evidence that this minor production holds for the reconstruction of the evolution of Latin in the late period and on the modes of linguistic teaching and learning in the late antique school, with particular interest in the role of Cicero's works in grammatical teaching and on the early stages of the Catullus tradition.
Another field of interest was the personality of Horace and he collaborated for several years with the Institute of the Italian Encyclopedia for the publication of the Enciclopedia Oraziana, of which he was editor-in-chief from 1996 to 1998.
