She edited a book-length dossier on Italian poetry of research for the journal Aufgabe in 2008, and is founding curator of PennSound Italiana. Her translations of the polyglot refugee writer/musicologist from Fascist Italy Amelia Rosselli were published in Locomotrix: Selected Poetry and Prose of Amelia Rosselli, and received the Raiziss/De Palchi Prize from the Academy of American Poets. Scappettone teaches at the University of Chicago and is a visiting scholar at Stanford.
