About
Part of my family is originally from Odessa but, as the oldest of four siblings, I grew up between Milan and Lake Como, in Italy. I graduated in 2007 from the ‘Università degli Studi di Milano’ with a MA thesis on Dante and his sources supervised by Prof. Violetta de Angelis. During my university education I spent two years researching medieval culture and philosophy and European identity at the ‘École pratique des hautes études’ and the ‘Collège de France’ with Prof. Carlo Ossola. In 2004 I co-founded ‘Esperimenti Danteschi’, an international course in Dante studies that saw its sixth gathering in spring 2010. Throughout my research in Milan, Paris and London I have been investigating the sources of the Commedia and now I intend to focus on the relationship between the poet and the cultural traditions of Alexander the Great. In my research I aim also to investigate and shed light on the relationship between Mediterranean Western and Eastern cultures.
More generally, I am interested in the history and global perspectives of European cultural identity, especially within academia. I enjoy reading, cooking, drawing, and lively conversation over a bottle of red wine from Tuscany or Bordeaux.

Mi sono laureato presso l'Università Statale di Milano discutendo una tesi in filologia dantesca, successivamente pubblicata su The Italianist. Dopo un periodo di formazione paleografica e di ricerca documentaria medievale a Parigi, sono finito sulle sponde del Cam prima per un Master of Philosophy in cultura europea e ora per scrivere una dissertazione su Dante e la tradizione medievale alessandrina.
A tempo perso mi interesso alla tradizione teurgica e all'onirocritica, in particolare alla sorte della versione latina dello Pseudo-Achmet un manuale bizantino per l'interpretazione dei sogni. Il testo greco venne tradotto da Leo Tuscus nel 1176 con il titolo 'De Somniis et Oraculis'.
