Research Interests:
Camilletti's work bridges Italian literature, Gothic studies, and occultism. His three primary research clusters are: Italian/Comparative Romanticism (Leopardi, Manzoni), Dante's literary afterlife (Vita Nova translations, Rossetti), and Gothic/Occulture (1960s–2000s Italian media/politics). He explores spectrality, intertextuality, and transnational cultural exchanges.
Publication Trends:
His recent books (2013–2024) analyze Gothic subversion in canonical Italian texts, Dante's modern reinterpretations, and occult symbolism in postwar culture. Works like Italia lunare (2018) and Spettri familiari (2024) highlight his focus on literary hauntology and metapsychics.
Awards:
- Edinburgh Gadda Prize-Crolla Amato Prize (5th place ex aequo) for Italia lunare (2018)

Major grants include AHRC Networking Grant (Roman Modernities, 2012–15) and BA/Leverhulme Grant (Fantasmagoriana and the Others, 2018–20). He has supervised 10+ PhD students on topics ranging from Italian Gothic to Leopardi’s visual culture.
