Angelo Castagnino is an Associate Professor of Italian in the Department of Languages, Literatures & Cultures at the University of Denver, within the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

He is an active scholar with numerous publications and professional affiliations. Castagnino earned his PhD in Romance Languages and Literatures from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2013, an MA in North-American Studies from the University of Turin in 2008, and a BA in Modern Languages and Literatures from the University of Catania in 2005. Prior to joining the University of Denver, he taught at Bucknell University and Tufts University.

He has published extensively on authors like Alessandro Perissinotto, Michele Mari, Simona Vinci, and Michela Murgia, analyzing how fantastic tropes serve as tools for social critique. His recent publications show a strong trend toward interdisciplinary literary analysis, combining narrative theory with gender studies, disability studies, and cultural criticism. His monograph Fantastic Echoes in Contemporary Italian Literature (2023) exemplifies this approach by linking Gothic and fantastic elements to modern concerns like artificial intelligence and ecofeminism.
