Marco Grimaldi serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Literature and Culture at Sapienza University of Rome, where he teaches Philology of Italian Literature II, Dante Philology, and Textual Philology II for the 2025/2026 academic year. His institutional affiliation is clearly established through his university email address (marco.grimaldi@uniroma1.it) and course listings across multiple academic years.
Professor Grimaldi's research specializes in Dante Alighieri studies with particular emphasis on textual philology of Dante's works, especially the Rime, Vita Nova, and Convivio. His scholarly approach combines rigorous textual criticism with literary interpretation, examining manuscript traditions, editorial practices, and historical contexts of medieval Italian literature. He has developed expertise in Italian lyric poetry from the 13th-14th centuries, troubadour influences in Italy, and the reception history of Dante's Commedia through later centuries.
His publication record reveals consistent scholarly productivity with numerous monographs, edited volumes, and journal articles extending through 2025. Key works include "Dantean Philology. An Introduction" (2021), "Dante Lirico. Essays on the 'Rime'" (2024), "Dante: Three Women Around the Heart" (2025), and "Dante in twelve words" (2023). His research demonstrates a methodological commitment to philological precision while engaging with broader literary and historical questions.
Grimaldi actively supervises thesis projects, prioritizing students who have completed both Filologia della letteratura italiana I and Filologia della letteratura italiana II courses. He maintains regular office hours on Mondays (3-7 PM) by appointment and is involved in significant research initiatives including "For a digital library of the minor poets of the Origins: study, census and edition," which aims to create comprehensive digital resources for early Italian poetry.
