Cristina Gaiotto
I am a medieval studies and literature lover!
I got my Phd in Medieval Studies from Boston College where
I studied with Prof. Maria Picchio Simonelli. Thanks to her, I
became a Medieval literature addict!!!
My thesis was a Critical Edition on Folgore da San Giniminiano.
During my research, I discovered that Folgore sonnets of the months
were actually reported in another ancient manuscript which belonged to
a private librarian of Siena. My thesis became a detective work!
Besides Folgore, I have worked a little bit on Dante (See: Beatrice and the
Pearl, in Beatrice nell'opera di Dante e nella memoria Europea 1290-1990
ed.)
I also love Provencal poetry.
Now, I am a mother, I live in Italy and teach English in a Primary
School.
