Lino Leonardi

Born in Rome in 1961, I studied in Florence with d’Arco Silvio Avalle and in Padua with Gianfranco Folena. I have taught Romance Philology at the Universities of Florence, Chieti-Pescara, and Siena, where I chaired the PhD School in Modern Philology. I have been visiting professor at the École nationale des Chartes (Paris) and at St John's College Cambridge. From 2014 to 2018 I was director of the CNR Institute Opera del Vocabolario Italiano in Florence. Since 2023 I chair the PhD program in Romance and Italian Digital Philology.

From 2002 to 2009 she was a researcher on contract at the SNS, where, since 2009, she has taught Latin Palaeography.
Her interests range from Roman antiquity to the Renaissance, including manuscripts, documents and epigraphs; she favours an interdisciplinary approach to research and unites the study of Palaeography with that of Classical Philology and the History of Art.
