I tangohia e ia tana oati mo te wa poto i te tau 1986, ana i kii ia i tana oati mo te wa roa i te tau 1991. He maha nga tohu a Melone. Kei a ia tetahi tohu i te whakaako me te rapunga whakaaro mai i te Libera Università Maria SS. Ko Assunta, i puta i te tau 1992. I ako ia i te kaupapa karakia i te Whare Wānanga o Antonianum, i puta i te 1996. I oti i a ia tana tohu Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) i te Whare Wananga o Pontifical Antonianum i te tau 2001; ko tana tuhinga tohungatanga ko Te Wairua Tapu i roto i a Richard o St. Victor's 'De Trinitate'. Mai i te 2011 ki te 2014, ko Melone te kaitiaki o te Tari Whakaakoranga i te Whare Wananga o Pontifical Antonianum. I te tau 2014, i pootihia ia e te Huihuinga mo te Maatauranga Katorika hei Kaiwhakahaere o te Whare Wananga o te Papa o Antonianum. Ka mahi ia i tētahi wā e toru tau. Ko ia te wahine tuatahi hei upoko mo te whare wananga o te Pope. I whakauruhia ia hei rector i te 22 o Oketopa 2014.I mahi ano a Melone hei Perehitini o te Italian Society for Theological Research. I whakaingoatia e Pope Francis hei mema o te Komihana Akoranga mo te Diaconate Wahine i te 2 o Akuhata 2016.  Patai: I whiwhi a Assunta i tana tohu PhD i hea?
