Lorenzo Giglio

Lorenzo Giglio is a PhD candidate in Medieval Literature at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale in Naples. His dissertation focuses on Boccaccio’s Corbaccio, one of the most influential works in the medieval tradition of misogynistic and satirical literature. Alongside his doctoral research, he has long investigated the transmission and reception of medieval literature in the early Renaissance, with a particular interest in the history of collecting and the circulation of texts in both manuscript and print. In addition to various articles on the manuscript tradition of medieval poetry in the Renaissance, he has published a new annotated edition of Dante’s Vita Nuova and Rime (Salerno Editrice, 2022). At MAP, his research explores the ideological and literary implications of the relationships between printers, intellectuals, and Medicean power. His project centers on the enigmatic figure of Lorenzo Bartolini (1494–1533), a correspondent of Erasmus and owner of the Raccolta Bartoliniana (Accademia della Crusca, ms. 53), a significant anthology of medieval Italian poetry. Through this lens, he aims to shed light on Bartolini’s role within the wider European humanist network during the Reformation era, with particular attention to his influence on the editorial strategies of the Giunti publishers.
