In 1976, Rossellini served as a makeup artist in her mother's film A Matter of Time. In 1995 Leo S.

Rossellini has taught Italian literature at both New York University, where she is an adjunct professor, and at State University of New York at Stony Brook. She has also taught World War II Italian cinema at Princeton University and literature of social reflection at Harvard University.[1] For her Italian cinema classes, she lectures on the Italian Neorealism of her father's works, emphasizing his later work for Italian television.
