A graduate of the University of Milan, she was an assistant to Silvio Accame and taught at the University of Messina (1962), the University of Bologna (1967) and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (1969).

Sordi was also a member of the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere, the Pontifical Academy of Archaeology, and the Istituto Nazionale di Studi Etruschi ed Italici.[2]

He showed that the Emperor Domitian launched the first persecution of Christians, following his break with Titus Flavius Clemens.[7] She also stated that this persecution was not characterised by the banning of Christians from public life or by the systematic nature that was instead a feature of the persecution under Nero and his Institutum Neronianum.[8]
