She published a one-act play (“Over & Out” in “History of Common Literature Period”, book 1, 2024) in English. She published 2 novels: “Avventura o morte” (2021) and “Segreti” (2018). Moreover, she published a collection of short stories, “Stagioni” (2023) as well as 5 collections of poems:”Sì shabby chic” (2018), "L’acqua opprime" (2016), “Fruttorto sperimentale” (2016), "Latte & Limoni" (2014), "L’angoscia del pane" (2010). Finally, she wrote 2 one-act plays, “Evoluzioni” (2019) and "Tabelo" (“Table”, 2006), both dealing with mobbing as a supreme artistic form.
Dall’Olio’s dramatic and poetic interests focus on reality as well as society, even if she deals with her own life. As far as poetry is concerned, Dall’Olio needs to confront the literary tradition of her country, whereas the topic of each poem points out the most convenient poetic style. Yet, topics are generally up-to-date, and so final layouts are wholly unpredictable. As for fiction, Dall’Olio deals with reality as much as fantasy mixing different genres of prose and poetry as well as past present and future.
