Giulio’s main academic interest focuses on Dante, and especially on Dante’s reception in the 20th and 21st centuries across several media (film, literature, theatre, music). He has also focused on contemporary Italian women writers, in particular Elsa Morante, Claudia Durastanti and Elena Ferrante.

His dissertation deals with how Dante and his authority as “national” poet were used during the socio-political changes occured in Italy after the 1968 movements; in particular, his work seeks to investigate how Dante was both embraced and rejected according to the ideological goals of the several parties in question (intellectuals, filmakers, magazine editors, musicians).

At ������Ƶ he has also served as representative for the Graduate Student Government of the School of Arts and Sciences (SASgov) and co-organized a departmental reading group (“Masterpieces of Italian Literature”). Giulio has also served as Graduate Assistant for the American Association of Italian Studies and is currently co-editor of the peer-reviewed journal “Bibliotheca Dantesca”. For the 2021-2022 academic year, he is a Visiting Instructor in the Transnational Italian Studies Department at Bryn Mawr College.

Before coming to the United States, Giulio obtained his bachelor degree at the University of Bologna (2015) and his master degree at the Università della Svizzera italiana (2017), both times working on Dante and his immediate reception in the 14th century.
