4 2018 *(accepted March 2017, forthcoming) Italia lunare. Gli anni Sessanta e l occulto. Oxford: Peter Lang. Monograph. 75,000 words approx. This book innovatively uses the notion of occulture, elaborated in the fields of anthropology and religious studies, in order to examine the circulation of occult themes in 1960s Italy. By taking into account literature, cinema, and pop culture of the years , it offers a new and challenging insight into Italy s troubled modernity, showing how ghosts and exotericism, psychical research and demonic possessions embody the tensions of a changing country. Italia lunare, one of my REF submission items, is already under contract and forthcoming in early 2018, and received 500 from the HRF at Warwick and 150 from the SMLC as a contribution towards publication costs.

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Book chapter words approx. Although conceived and written for a companion, and having therefore in mind a broad and nonspecialized audience, this essay aims to be a milestone in the scholarship on Dante reception for two reasons: first, it adopts a global perspective; second, it proposes an innovative periodization, reassessing in particular the Anglo-centric distinction between Romantic and Victorian.

5 Le mythe repensé dans l'œuvre de Giacomo Leopardi. Ed. Perle Abbrugiati. Aix-en-Provence: Presses Universitaires de Provence (Camilletti 83-90, Piperno 90-99). Co-authored book chapter. 16pp. * Il sorriso del conte zio. Manzoni, Sade e l omaggio alla Vergine. Enthymema (refereed journal) XIV: Journal article. 15pp. * Gertrude e il Nome del Padre. Italian Studies (refereed journal) 71, 1: Journal article. 15pp. Conceived in parallel, these two essays aim to break new ground in the comparative and interdisciplinary study of Manzoni s I promessi sposi, reading this novel as a negotiation of Gothic themes and stereotypes. Whereas Il sorriso del conte zio reads I promessi sposi as an answer to the problem of evil as posed by the Marquis de Sade, Gertrude e il Nome del Padre analyzes the novel in the light of eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries theories of hysteria and Gothic representations of femininity. Both articles, moreover, pay innovative attention to visual culture, taking into consideration the novel s iconographic apparatus, as well as the imaginary inspired by Manzoni s narrative throughout the nineteenth century. Vitæ Novæ per la modernità: stilnovismo ed erranza del desiderio in Delfini e Celati. The Italianist (refereed journal) 36. 1: Journal article. 17pp *Jean-Baptiste Benoît Eyriès et al., Fantasmagoriana. Ed./transl. Fabio Camilletti. Rome: Nova Delphi. Edition/translation + introductory essay. 340 pp. (98 pp. introductory essay; 242 pp. translated/edited text with notes and commentaries) Enriched by a substantial introductory essay, this book is the first complete edition and translation of Fantasmagoriana, the 1812 French anthology of German ghost stories holding a special place in the history of Gothic literature: in the summer of 1816, it provided the inspiration for the ghost storytelling contest at Villa Diodati giving birth to Mary Shelley s Frankenstein and John Polidori s The Vampyre. Addressed to a broad readership, the book is nonetheless a veritable critical edition, accounting for the metamorphoses undergone by the text between three languages and cultural domains (German, French, English) and consequently reinstating Fantasmagoriana within the transnational exchanges of European culture in the Napoleonic age. The introductory essay is arguably the most accurate contribution on the topic so far, using Fantasmagoriana as a prism through which to interrogate the relationship between Gothic literature and magic lantern shows, the specificity of continental Gothic against Anglo-centric narratives, and the problem of belief in the supernatural in the post-enlightenment age. The book received wide press coverage and was praised as the most important book published in [2015] in the field of fantastic literature (Giuseppe Lippi, Dylan Dog Magazine 2016). It also inspired several public engagement events, including a ghost story public reading and a student-led theatre performance in 2016, the Mesmerized! event series in 2017, as well as cross-language UG and PG modules. Finally, it led me to start a broader project on collections of supernatural stories in the Napoleonic age, forming the backbone for my application for a BA small research grant (currently under evaluation).

Modern Italy : Book review. 2pp * Timore e terrore nella polemica classico-romantica: l Italia e il ripudio del gotico. Italian Studies (refereed journal) 69. 2: Journal article. 14pp. This article takes as its starting point a micro-debate triggered, in post-revolutionary Italy, by a new translation of Aristotle s Poetics, showing how an apparently minor problem the rendering of the Greek term phobos ( fear, terror ), understood by Aristotle as one of the means by which to produce tragic catharsis entails deeper significance in relation to the civil role of theatre, the representation of excess on stage, and the Italian way of coping with the pleasure derived from objects of terror that was explored by British and German aesthetics in the golden age of the Gothic. Philological analysis allows, thus, to go to the roots of Italy s claimed delay in intercepting the solicitations of foreign literatures and of Gothic aesthetics in particular, providing a different genealogy for Italy s troubled negotiation with this genre and reassessing traditional narratives such as Italo Calvino s about Italy s constitutive alienness to Gothicizing imaginaries. This article has been inserted in Stefano Lazzarin s commented bibliography of the critical reception of the Italian fantastic, and has been a first step in my reconfiguration of the Italian Gothic between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries.

Linguaggio del corpo e forma del desiderio in Dante, Pasolini e Morante. Italianistica XLIII. 3: Book review. 2pp *Leopardi s Nymphs. Grace, Melancholy, and the Uncanny. Oxford: Legenda. Monograph. 192 pp. Leopardi s Nymphs critically analyses Leopardi s cantos of in relation to aesthetics and literary theory (Grace), subjectivity and the poetic articulation of desire (Melancholy), and memory, conceptualization of historical past, and the haunting survival of antiquity (Uncanny). Published in a lively moment for Leopardi-related studies in the English-speaking world, marked by Jonathan Galassi s translation of the Canti and by Michael Caesar s and Franco D Intino s edition of the Zibaldone, this book undertakes a broad cultural operation (Stefano Versace, Enthymema, 2015) by innovatively bridging the tradition of Italian scholarship on Leopardi and contemporary theory. In particular, through a constant dialogue with German-Jewish early twentieth-century thought Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin, and Sigmund Freud and its legacy (most notably Giorgio Agamben and Georges Didi-Huberman), it shows how Leopardi s philosophical poetry, through the reactivation of the nymph mythologem, subverts teleologically oriented understandings of history, allowing for pessimism to be re-negotiated in a political way. Leopardi s Nymphs met enthusiastic reviews (in Annali d italianistica, the Modern Language Review ( Camilletti s monograph makes a substantial contribution to [the] renewal [of Leopardi studies in recent years] ), and La Rassegna della Letteratura Italiana among others), and was referenced in The Oxford Handbook of European Romanticism, edited by Paul Hamilton (2016). *Classicism and Romanticism in Italian Literature: Leopardi s Discourse on Romantic Poetry. London: Pickering and Chatto. Monograph. 200 pp (112 pp. monograph; 88 pp. translation of Leopardi s Discourse by Fabio Camilletti and Gabrielle Sims) Stemming from my experience in teaching Italian Romanticism from a comparative viewpoint, and completed thanks to a BA small research grant, my monograph Classicism and Romanticism gives a complete profile of the Classicist/Romantic quarrel enflaming Italy in , analysing the

7 peculiarity of the Italian case within the broader framework of European Romanticisms. On the one hand, it makes available to the broader scholarship in Romantic Studies a large body of sources otherwise unavailable for non Italian-speaking readers, and principally Leopardi s Discourse on Romantic Poetry (translated by Gabrielle Sims and me, and included as an appendix). On the other, through a close dialogue with narratology, psychoanalysis, and trauma theory, it gives an innovative reading on the quarrel as the Italian way of coping with the legacy of the Napoleonic wars, as well as a defining moment of Italy s cultural identity. By questioning dominant perspectives of the quarrel as a pre-risorgimento phenomenon, the book reinstates it as the outcome of quintessentially postrevolutionary tensions, seeing it as the Italian response to those post-napoleonic concerns about legitimacy, authority, and national identity explored, in other literary domains, by Stendhal s novels, Pushkin s Eugene Onegin, or German Biedermeier literature. The book has proved to be a valid teaching resource in Warwick and other institutions. It also provided the bases for later projects, including the 1816 network and my posts on 1816 and Italian culture in the BARS blog, as well as for peer-reviewed articles and conference papers.
