Introducing Roberto Bacci
I received my laurea in Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures (Scandinavian and British) in 1997 from the Department of Literature and Philosophy at the University of Bologna. I have translated poems by contemporary Italian authors such as Caproni, Luzi, Rosselli, Sanguineti into Norwegian for the volume Poetisk Modernisme, Oslo, Det norske Samlaget, 1995 (in collaboration with E. Jensen and G.Vesaas). In 1997, I began working with the publishing house Longanesi & C. in Milan as translator and consultant for Scandinavian, British and American literature, and translated novels by Marianne Fredriksson and Jostein Gaarder into Italian. I was an Italian language instructor at the University of Georgia (1999-2001) and since the fall of 2003 I have been a graduate student and TA at Brown University. Main research interest: Occultism in 20th century European culture (in particular the revival of Renaissance Magic).
