Dr Cecilia Sideri

I am currently a tenure track researcher and assistant professor of Italian Philology at the University of Verona, Italy (link to my Verona profile hereLink opens in a new window), and a Honorary Fellow in the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance of the University of Warwick.

In 2025, I was awarded a Fondo Italiano della Scienza (FIS) Starting grant, which will begin in February 2026. The project — MapNot. Mapping Knowledge through 'Notabilia' in the Italian Humanism — will examine the function of notabilia in the Italian humanism in relation to the practices of excerpere, colligere, intabulare. Combining philology, paleography, and the history of the book, the project will explore how this ancient and basic method of annotation, which was originally merely instrumental in orienting the reader within a text, gradually specialized towards lexical research and indexing between the 15th and 16th centuries, aided by the spread of printing.

After studying for BA and MA at the Università Cattolica of Milan, I completed my PhD at the University of Venice in 2020. I was then a DAAD Short-term fellow at the Freie Universität of Berlin, as well as a short-term fellow of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Neo-Latin Studies in Innsbruck and of the Bibliographical Society of America. In 2022-2023 I was a Junior Researcher (‘rtd-a’) of Italian Philology at the University of Verona. From September 2023 to September 2025 I was a Senior Researcher and Assistant Professor (holding a Marie Curie-UKRI Guarantee postdoctoral fellowship) in the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at Warwick. My project at Warwick examined the influence of Greek texts on the Italian vernacular culture in the Renaissance, with a particular focus on 15th-century Florence.

Impact

In October 2024, together with Paolo Pellegrini, the LaMeDan lab and the ERC RESP project (PI Dario Calomino) based at the University of Verona, I co-organised an exhibition of manuscripts and prints related to the life and work of the humanist Guarino Veronese (1374-1460). The exhibition was held at the Biblioteca Civica of Verona and it was open to the general public. Audio-guides with QR codes where prepared for visitors.

I collaborate with a number of Italian high-schools in the area of Milan and Verona, in order to promote a dialogue between university and secondary school institutions. In particular, I carried out the following activities:

Liceo Racchetti-Da Vinci, Crema, a series of three workshops for high-school students of the Liceo Classico, complemented by a training course for high-school teachers are planned between January (23, 30) and February (6, 13) 2024. Title of series of workshops: Learning Greek in Renaissance Italy.
