Giacomo FADELLI is a Research Fellow specializing in Classical Archaeology with primary affiliation at the Department of Cultures and Civilizations of the University of Verona. His academic work focuses on Cretan archaeology, particularly the site of Afrati-Arkades in South-Central Crete, with expertise in the Geometric-Archaic period, funerary practices, and settlement patterns of the Eastern Mediterranean.

His research interests span Aegean Archaeology, Iron Age studies, pottery analysis, and archaeological documentation methods. Fadelli has extensive field experience with multiple archaeological missions across Greece, Italy, and Bulgaria, with particular focus on Crete, Lemnos, and Aquileia. His methodological approach combines traditional archaeological techniques with modern digital documentation, including photogrammetric surveys using UAV technology.

Fadelli's publication record demonstrates consistent scholarly output since 2018, with particular focus on Cretan archaeology, the history of archaeological research in Greece, and material culture studies. His recent work shows increasing specialization in funerary practices, settlement organization, and interregional connections during the Early Iron Age in the Eastern Mediterranean.

His academic achievements include a 2024 Doctorate in Arts and Archaeology through an international joint PhD program between the University of Verona and Ghent University, with a thesis on Afrati-Arkades in the first millennium BC. He has delivered numerous lectures at both the University of Verona and Ca' Foscari University of Venice, focusing on the Orientalizing period and Early Iron Age Crete.
