Presentazione

Carla Cucina is Full Professor of Germanic Philology in the University of Macerata, Faculty of Humanities, Dept. of Research in Linguistics, Literature and Philology (DIPRI), Italy. She was previously researcher and assistant professor at the IULM University in Milano (from 1986 to 1995) and at “La Sapienza” University in Rome (from 1995 to 2000). In 1998 she started teaching in Macerata University and in 2000 she became associate professor. Full professor since 2004, she has kept teaching in and collaborating with “La Sapienza” University in Rome. She is also Director of “Classiconorrœna”, an academic society of scholars interested in the history of mutual cultural interactions between the Nordic and the (neo-)classical world, seated in the University of Perugia.
Experienced in Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse literature, she has been investigating most extensively on Scandinavian runic inscriptions from the Viking and Medieval Ages (see her books Il tema del viaggio nelle iscrizioni runiche, Pavia, Gianni Iuculano Editore, 1989, and Vestr ok austr. Iscrizioni e saghe sui viaggi dei vichinghi, Roma, Editore “il Calamo”, 2001), as well as on the Nordic runic lore in post-medieval times (for instance within Johannes and Olaus Magnus’ Historiae), on the circulation of runes in Renaissance Europe, and on Scandinavian connections with Italy concerning the runic evidence and lore. She also wrote about the social background, the doctrinal implications and the literary function of pilgrimage in Medieval Iceland (see Il pellegrinaggio nelle saghe dell'Islanda medievale, "Rendiconti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di scienze morali, storiche e filologiche", ser. 9, vol. 9:1 [1998], pp. 83-155). In 2008 she published a new annotated edition of the Old English poem The Seafarer (Il Seafarer. La navigatio cristiana di un poeta anglosassone, Roma, Edizioni Kappa). In the last years she has been investigating about Old Icelandic allegorical literature, publishing new editions and studies of some neglected homiletic pieces about ship and respectively rainbow allegories (see En kjôlrinn jarteinir trú rétta. Incidenza di tropi classici e cristiani sulle tradizioni anglosassone e scandinava, “RILD. Rivista Italiana di Linguistica e Dialettologia” XII [2010], pp. 9-78; The Rainbow Allegory in the Old Icelandic Physiologus Manuscript, “Gripla” XXII [2011], pp. 63-118). She is presently studying Medieval and Renaissance runic calendars.
