Daniela SANTONOCITO is a Researcher in Spanish Literature at the Department of Humanities, University of Catania. Her work is deeply rooted in the study of medieval and Golden Age Spanish literature, with a strong emphasis on digital humanities and textual scholarship. She is actively involved in numerous national and international research projects and leads significant editorial and digital initiatives.
Her primary research interests include medieval Spanish literature, the Spanish Golden Age, epic chivalric poetry (particularly its Italian influences), the 17th-century novela corta, and contemporary Spanish literature with medieval themes. Her methodological approach combines traditional philology with digital tools for cataloging, editing, and analyzing texts.
Dr. Santonocito's recent publications and research projects reveal a consistent trend toward the digitization and critical analysis of early Spanish texts. Her work on digital catalogs of epic chivalric poems and the creation of the ArDiTeHis digital archive demonstrates a commitment to making historical texts accessible through modern technology. Her editorial work on 17th-century novellas and 16th-century epic poems highlights her expertise in textual criticism and the socio-literary networks of early print culture.
