About the author

Having studied philosophy and theology at the Università Gregoriana (Rome), he received his PhD in Italian Studies at Stanford University in 2000. He has previously taught at Gonzaga College High School (Washington, DC), Northwestern University, Wesleyan University, the Università degli Studi di Trento, and Stanford University, where he was also the founding Associate Director of the Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (CMEMS). He has been the recipient of fellowships at the Wesleyan University Center for the Humanities, I Tatti–The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, and from the National Endowment for the Humanities. His work is primarily engaged with the premodern cultural and intellectual history of Italy, focused within a European and Mediterranean matrix and dealing particularly with issues related to translation as both textual and sociopolitical practice. He has lectured extensively in the United States, Italy, England, France, Spain, and Australasia. Two current book projects are John Florio and the Circulation of 'Stranger' Cultures in Stuart Britain, and Dido's Legacy: Oblivion and Promise in Italy's Past Present.
