My research has been comparative in two directions. My interest in Dante and medieval culture led me to a scholarly project tracing the appreciation of Dante in North America, from its real roots in the era of Emerson to the twentieth-century. In a book concerning Emerson"s translation of Dante"s New Life, I have presented a historical study that sets Emerson's work in context, a study that accompanies the first critical edition of his Dantean translation; in a critical study of American scholarship on Dante I offer a comprehensive reading of American Dante criticism in the post-Singleton era; in an article appeared in "Dante studies", I propose an innovative reading of Longfellow"s Dantism in the light of the unpublished lectures delivered at Harvard College from 1838 to 1852. My first monograph received 10 reviews, 6 in newspapers, which highlighted the interest in the work beyond my academic field and could anticipate the impact that it was going to exercise on the field of comparative studies. My study on Emerson and Dante opened new research paths: I am now working on a new monograph that will consider Emerson"s interest in and knowledge of Italian literature as a whole. The new monograph should appear in the series "Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature." Dante's medieval context is equally important for me. For this reason, I worked on Boccaccio as a writer and interpreter of myths. By combining textual criticism, reception studies, and cultural history, my project for the first time defined Boccaccio"s literary and philosophical debts to Apuleius of Madauros. My study successfully challenged the scholarly paradigm of Vittore Branca's "Boccaccio medievale", which for almost fifty years was an admired standby. One of the foremost Boccaccio scholars has indeed labeled my "Boccaccio umanista" as our `own Boccaccio", the new Boccaccio of the current generation of scholars. At the centre of my research lies a set of problems in the "Decameron": in particular, I demonstrated that the fable of Eros and Psyche is the most important source of the Griselda tale (Dec. X, 10), a tale that enjoyed wide circulation from Petrarch"s translation into Latin and Chaucer"s adaptation in his Clerk's Tale. I then became convinced that Boccaccio"s classicism needed to be rethought; he was an avid student of Apuleius not only as a source of myths, but also as a source for Neoplatonic philosophy. By using palaeographic, philological, and hermeneutical instruments and methods, my monograph provided the first comprehensive study on Boccaccio as reader, glossator, and imitator of Apuleius, as well as a new thought-provoking contribution on his still underestimated humanism. In investigating the diffusion of Apuleius in medieval Italy, I conducted an innovative reassessment not only of Boccaccio, but of medieval textual culture at large. More specifically, the analysis of Boccaccio"s reading strategies contributed to challenge authoritative narratives that assume a sharp divide between Middle Ages and Renaissance humanism. My second monograph received 8 scholarly reviews.

• Title

  Petrarch and Boccaccio as Pre-Modern Humanists
  Summary

  The first aims to provide the first comprehensive study on Boccaccio as reader, glossator, and imitator of Apuleius. At the center of this research lies a set of problems in the Decameron and its particular focus revolves around Boccaccio's rewritings of the fable of Cupid and Psyche. The second project aims to provide a new commented edition of Petrarch's De vita solitaria for the LPIL series of Toronto University Press.
