Arnaldo Soldani

Arnaldo Soldani is a Full Professor of Italian Linguistics at the University of Verona's Department of Cultures and Civilizations. He serves as Department Director and holds roles in academic governance, including membership in committees for research, internationalization, and doctoral programs. His teaching spans undergraduate and graduate courses on Italian language history, metrics, and stylistics across programs in Communication Studies, Humanities, and Philology.

Research focuses on formal analysis of Italian poetry, including metrics, syntax, and voice in lyrical traditions from Dante to modern poets. Key areas include Petrarch's works, chivalric romance narratives (Ariosto, Tasso), and digital archiving of metrical patterns via the Archivio Metrico Italiano (AMI).

His third mission activities include public engagement initiatives and professional training programs in language and communication. Soldani’s work bridges historical philology with computational linguistics, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to Italian literary tradition.
