معرفی
Simone Mollea serves as a Lecturer at the Institute of Italian Studies within the Faculty of Communication, Culture and Society at the University of Italian Switzerland (USI), where he has taught Basic Latin since 2020.
Education:
- BA and MA in Classical Philology from the University of Turin
- PhD from the University of Warwick focusing on humanitas in imperial Latin literature
Research Interests:
Mollea's scholarship centers on Latin conceptual frameworks, particularly humanitas, with deep expertise in Senecan philosophy and Late Antique historiography. His work bridges textual criticism and Digital Humanities, examining Latin's role as a conduit for cross-cultural exchange between Eastern and Western traditions. Current investigations explore epitomatory practices in Aurelius Victor's works and the philosophical underpinnings of imperial-era Latin literature.
Publication Trends:
His recent monograph and commentary demonstrate a cohesive scholarly trajectory analyzing value systems in Imperial Latin texts. The 2024 De Gruyter monograph traces humanitas from Pliny to Symmachus, while the 2023 commentary on Seneca's letters reveals ethical frameworks through meticulous textual analysis. Both works exemplify interdisciplinary methodology combining philological rigor with conceptual history.
Professional Activities:
- Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the SERICA project at University of Turin (2021-present)
- Qualified for Associate Professorship in Latin Language and Literature (L-Fil-Let/04) in Italy (2023)
